Javascript clock with server time PHP [duplicate]

Answer 1

Get the date from the server, convert it to a javascript date, then increment it yourself.

<?php $today = getdate(); ?>
<script>
    var d = new Date(Date.UTC(<?php echo $today['year'].",".$today['mon'].",".$today['mday'].",".$today['hours'].",".$today['minutes'].",".$today['seconds']; ?>));
    setInterval(function() {
        d.setSeconds(d.getSeconds() + 1);
        $('#timer').text((d.getHours() +':' + d.getMinutes() + ':' + d.getSeconds() ));
    }, 1000);
</script> 
<label id="timer"></label>

EDIT: JSFiddle with example PHP echoed in.

Answer 2

I worked on a code for count down using the server time . You can use something similar to this for your code

<?php
 $now = date('d-m-Y');
 $end= "01-01-2013"
 $date = strtotime($end) - strtotime($now);
 $days = date('d', $date);
 $monthes= date('m', $date);
 $years= date('Y', $date);
?> 
<script>
  var days = "<?= $days ?>";
  var monthes= "<?= $monthes?>";
  var years= "<?= $years?>";

    document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML = days+ ' days';

    document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML += monthes+ ' monthes';

    document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML += years+ ' years';
</script>
