Computercraft Time Server - Real World Time

This is a simple PHP script to fetch time in a wide variety of formats.
The PHP file is hosted at http://www.cctime.cu9.co/cctime.php.
The server it is hosted on should be reliable.

The three main formats are as follows:

• Epoch - Unix Timestamp Example: 1408328148
• Basic - a serialized array of basic time value. Example: {month=8,day=17,year=2014,hour12=8,hour24=20,minute=14,second=05,meridiem=PM,}
• Custom - this allows you to create your own format. Explained below.

The Custom format passes the "format" variable from the URL directly into the date() function in PHP. Use "%" for spaces when creating a format this way.
Example: http://www.cctime.cu...mat=g:i%A%m/d/Y this outputs something like this –> 2:26 AM 08/18/2014
You can create your own by using the table shown here. Each letter represents a time value.

When you enter the URL, you must enter a format and a offset(Timezone difference from UTC). The offset can be negative or positive.

I have used this on an Apache server running on the same server as the minecraft server. This way you could fetch time locally.

I may replace the offset with timezones and make it adjust for things such as Daylight Savings Time in the future.

Example URLs:

Epoch:
http://www.cctime.cu...=0&format=epoch
Basic:
http://www.cctime.cu...0&format=serial
Custom:
http://www.cctime.cu...mat=g:i%A%m/d/Y

Use and modify this PHP file as you wish.

PHP File:

<?php
date_default_timezone_set ("UTC");
//User Defined Variables (UDV)
$offset = $_GET['offset'];
$format = $_GET['format'];
//Checks if UDV's are given
if (isset($offset) == 0){
echo("The offset is not defined.");
echo("\n");
}
if (isset($format) == 0){
echo("The format is not defined.");
}

/*
Time Formats:
Epoch
serial
custom
*/
//Epoch
if ($format == "epoch"){
echo time();
}
//serial
if ($format == "serial"){
$offsetstamp = time() + ($offset * 60 * 60);
$day = date("j", $offsetstamp);
$month = date("n", $offsetstamp);
$year = date("Y", $offsetstamp);
$second = date("s", $offsetstamp);
$meridiem = date("A", $offsetstamp);
$hour24 = date("G", $offsetstamp);
$hour12 = date("g", $offsetstamp);
$minute = date("i", $offsetstamp);
$serialized = "{"."month=".$month.","."day=".$day.","."year=".$year.","."hour12=".$hour12.","."hour24=".$hour24.","."minute=".$minute.","."second=".$second.","."meridiem=".$meridiem.",}";
echo $serialized;
}
//custom
if ($format != "serial"){
if($format != "epoch"){
$offsetstamp = time() + ($offset * 60 * 60);
$output = str_replace("%"," ",$format);
$date = date($output, $offsetstamp);
echo $date;
}
}
?>

Pretty simple and pretty powerful! Awesome

What server is the hosted on?
Either the website is down, Or its hosted on 000webhost. (Many ISPs Blacklist 000webhost websites, Including Mine.)

It is hosted on a free server from Freeost.com. If I find another place to host it, I will post the link here.
