Question

I need to display the time but it must start from 00:00:00? I\'ve got the following but it uses the current time.

print(date(\"H:i:s\"));

Use mktime() if you want to start with midnight for the current date:

In mktime(), you pass arguments for hours, minutes, seconds, month, day, year, so set hours, minutes, seconds to 0 to get today at midnight. (Note, as Phil points out, mktime()'s arguments are optional and you can leave month, day, year out and it will default to the current date).

The mktime() function returns a unix timestamp representing the number of seconds since the unix epoch (January 1, 1970). You can count up from it in seconds or multiples of seconds.
