PHP date() doesn't work?

Question

I am trying to add 1 minute to the current time:

echo date("Y-m-d H:m:s", strtotime("+60 seconds"));
echo '<br />';
echo date("Y-m-d H:m:s");

The output is in both cases:

2012-09-02 17:09:02
2012-09-02 17:09:02

Which is obviously wrong (in both cases - the current time is in my country 1AM).

What I am doing wrong? I have saved into the datetime column the value 2012-09-02 17:09:38 and now I try to add to the current time 60 seconds and then if the difference between stored datetime and the current datetime is less than 60s, then I want to inset another row in the database...

But the problem is, the date() function displays weird output.

Answer 1

("Y-m-d H:i:s");

not

("Y-m-d H:m:s"); 

m is month, it can't be minutes as well

Answer 2

date("m") will show the current month numerically. So this is why your +60 seconds does not work. Use date("Ymd H:i:s")

Why the current time is wrong could be several reasons. Probably something with time or timezone settings on your server.

就时区而言，这可能对您有帮助： date_default_timezone_set
