Create php file with date and time in linux

If you are picking a date / time different from the current one, it is a time zone problem.

Put this line at the beginning of your script:

date_default_timezone_set('America/Sao_Paulo');

Hugs!

It's simple to create a PHP file with the date and time, you can do so:

<?php

//nome do arquivo
$name = 'arquivo.txt';

//texto que estará escrito dentro do arquivo com a data e a hora
$text = date('d/m/Y H:i:s');

//aqui ele cria o arquivo, você pode criar em um lugar especifico, concatenando um caminho em name;

//sem caminho
$file = fopen($name, 'a');

//com caminho
$file = fopen('caminho/aonde/quero/'.$name, 'a');

//escreve
fwrite($file, $text);

//salva o arquivo
fclose($file);
?>

Just to complement:

  

Well I'm having a case that php is picking up a divergent timetable

It may be that the default date is not the same as the server, maybe the code should help:

date_default_timezone_set('America/Sao_Paulo');
