echo $date;
?>

how can i set the date to my location?

i get this when i run the script Notice: date_default_timezone_set() [function.date-default-timezone-set]: Timezone ID 'Espana/Madrid' is invalid

i know Spain/Madrid is not recognized, but how can i fix it?

Try

date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Madrid");

I typically use ini_set() :

ini_set('date.timezone', 'Europe/Madrid');

try Europe/Madrid

Take a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

You'll find the list of the supported timezones in the documentation.

Here are the supported time zones in PHP

<?php
   date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Madrid');
   $date=date("H:i:s");
   echo $date;
?>
