Post subject: local time

having ?uptime give you the server's local date and time as well would be good, so you could have timestamps inside log files. and i bet it's not that hard to implement either. ok maybe it is, i dont know, i dont do any asss coding. but it would be really useful, so you might just want to do it.

Well, if you are a sysop you can see the local time when you type in *log.

Make a ?localtime command and send me the source. I'll put it up in Hyperspace.

Code: Show/Hide

time_t t1;
char t3[128];

time(&t1);
strftime(t3, sizeof(t3), CFG_TIMEFORMAT, localtime(&t1));

Stolen right from log_file.c's LogFile function. Works on both Linux and Windows without a problem. Learn more about the format specification to setup whatever output you want. If you want, make it where even the user can input his own format string. Just make sure you null-terminate it at a safe length, and should't have a problem with it, as I don't see a specification saying that strftime is required to null-terminate it.

Yeah, setting up a MySQL database server and then h4x the client to force it to open up a browser window loading a page which queries the MySQL database for the current time and then makes it show on the webpage is a great idea!
