Answer 1

you can do this with gmdate function

echo gmdate("H:i", time());

if you want only hours than just have only H in gmdate

gmdate — Format a GMT/UTC date/time

Demo

As @Mark Baker suggest if you want fix second timer than you can manually write like

echo gmdate("H:00", time());

Answer 2

You can use PHP's date function.

echo date('h:i', time());

Or, if you want it to always be :00 you can just do:

echo date('h', time()) . ':00';

If you want it to always be GMT, then you can use gmdate .
