localtime — Get the local time
$timestamp = time()
   [, bool $is_associative = false
  ]] )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
integer Unix timestamp that defaults to the current
local time if a timestamp is not given. In other
words, it defaults to the value of time().
is_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:
      
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
)
