(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
localtime — Get the local time
localtime ([ int|null $timestamp = null [, bool $associative = false ]] ) : array
The localtime() function returns an array identical to that of the structure returned by the C function call.
timestamp
The optional timestamp parameter is an int Unix timestamp that defaults to the current local time if timestamp is omitted or null. In other words, it defaults to the value of time().
associative
If set to false or not supplied then the array is returned as a regular, numerically indexed array. If the argument is set to true then localtime() returns an associative array containing all the different elements of the structure returned by the C function call to localtime. The names of the different keys of the associative array are as follows:
0 to 59 0 to 59 0 to 23 1 to 31 0 (Jan) to 11 (Dec) 0 (Sun) to 6 (Sat) 0 to 365 0 if not, negative if unknown. Every call to a date/time function will generate a E_NOTICE if the time zone is not valid, and/or a E_STRICT or E_WARNING message if using the system settings or the TZ environment variable. See also date_default_timezone_set()

Example #1 localtime() example
<?php $localtime = localtime(); $localtime_assoc = localtime(time(), true); print_r($localtime); print_r($localtime_assoc); ?>
The above example will output something similar to:
Array
(
[0] => 24
[1] => 3
[2] => 19
[3] => 3
[4] => 3
[5] => 105
[6] => 0
[7] => 92
[8] => 1
)
Array
(
[tm_sec] => 24
[tm_min] => 3
[tm_hour] => 19
[tm_mday] => 3
[tm_mon] => 3
[tm_year] => 105
[tm_wday] => 0
[tm_yday] => 92
[tm_isdst] => 1
)
