Using date()?

[Gleasonator]

Hi,

I'd like a bit of text to display the time using date('H:i'), which would make the text display in military time with leading zeros. From what I understand, however, I'm supposed to use $user->format_date() around this so that it will fix the time according to the time zone that the user has selected. If I am correct, how should I go about doing this?

Putting simply $user->format_date(date('H:i')) returns the date like CURRENT_DATE does.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

The second argument of $user::format_date() is a date format.

$user->format_date(time(), 'H:i');

Thank you. Works perfectly.
