[LUA][Code wanted]Real Time

Hey guys does anyone know a code that reads the time of a computer? Not the minecraft computer, computer in real life for real life time.

Thanks

You can look around on the forums. There's at least one program that fetches the real time from a web server. There's no other way of getting the real time.

Obviously i tried to look, couldnt find anything :D/>/>

That just means you didn't look hard enough. :-)

You need a webspace with php. On this webspace you put this Code:

<?php
if(empty($_GET)) {
	echo time();
}
else{
	if(!empty($_GET["timezone"])) {
		date_default_timezone_set($_GET["timezone"]);
	}
	else{
		date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
	}
	if(!empty($_GET["format"])) {
		echo date($_GET["format"]);
	}
	else{
		echo date(DATE_RFC822);
	}
}
?>

In the config of Computercraft you need to have the http api enabled.
With http api enabled you can receive the current time with
http.get("http://your-domain/your-file.php?timezone=TIMEZONE&format=FORMAT").readAll()
replace TIMEZONE with your timezone (ECT, GMT, UTC, …)
and FORMAT with pattern you want to fit the time into (for example Y-m-d%20H:i:s gives you something like 2012-10-07 21:27:31 , replace your spaces with %20)
