Right way to get Web Server time and display it on Web Pages


javascript php codeigniter

Answering my own question

I found what I was looking for on Webdeveloper.com and it worked excellently for me.

serverDate.js

var xmlHttp;function srvTime(){    try {        //FF, Opera, Safari, Chrome        xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();    }    catch (err1) {        //IE        try {            xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.XMLHTTP');        }        catch (err2) {            try {                xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');            }            catch (eerr3) {                //AJAX not supported, use CPU time.                alert("AJAX not supported");            }        }    }    xmlHttp.open('HEAD',window.location.href.toString(),false);    xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");    xmlHttp.send('');    return xmlHttp.getResponseHeader("Date");}var st = srvTime();var date = new Date(st);

html

<html>  <head>    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />    <title>Server date/time</title>    <script language="javascript" src="serverDate.js"></script>  </head>  <script language="javascript">  var localTime = new Date();  document.write("Local machine time is: " + localTime + "<br>");  document.write("Server time is: " + date);  </script>  <body>  </body>

Cheers!!
