I need a snippet of code to display the current time of my location as in 12:01 PM EST. I want to put it in the header of my site next to the search box. I already have the date…also the time but can’t get it to show local..only UTC

Can you use the date(‘g:i A e’) function?

This is what I have now:

<?php print(date (‘g:i A T’)); ?>

and this is what it shows ast 12:34 PM EST

4:34 PM UTC

When I used your snippit it showed

5:28 PM UTC

at te bottom of that page was something about setting timezone, a novice guess from me?
```
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('EST');

echo date('g:i A'); ?>
```

Actually, you can set the Timezone in Admin->Settings->General so you don’t have to code it in the php.
