Note, the PmWiki core has an equivalent Markup Expression "ftime" which can be used instead of this recipe like this:

* Time: {(ftime %X)}
* Date: {(ftime %x)}
* Local: {(ftime %L)}
  • Time: 03:19:28 AM
  • Date: 12/11/2024
  • Local:

The core function allows additionally to set a specific time stamp, and to display it in a format %L adapted for individual international visitors (rather than based on the server locale).


v 1.4 still uses PHP deprecated function strftime --gnuzoo
