Hi,

Is there a way to get the current date via FWH from the internet?

Thanks Stefan but I get this error:

Module: 'tsntp.prg' was compiled into PCODE version 7, this version of xHarbour expects version: 10

Hmm, it´s an older lib, I have no sources, sorry.

I found parts of the source here
http://www4.zzz.com.tw/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=29

But the function GetSntp() is missing, maybe you can contact the author

Thanks Stefan,

I was able to get it working by linking the .lib file then adding an INCLUDE "TSNTP.PRG"

Code: Select all  Expand view

Func    Test()
Local   aNet      := {},;
        nPort     := 123,;
        cIp       := "time.windows.com",;
        lSync     := .T.,;
        oSntp     := NIL;
        cNetDate
        oSntp := TSntp():New( cIP, nPort, lSync )

        If oSntp:GetData()
           // orignal code:   ? oSntp:Date(), "date"
           cNetDate := oSntp:Date()
        Else
           cNetDate := "99/99/99"
        EndIf

Return  cNetDate

An alternative using JSON, http://json-time.appspot.com/
Code: Select all  Expand view

FUNCTION testTime()
   LOCAL oHttp, hTime,cTime
   oHttp:=CreateObject( "winhttp.winHttpRequest.5.1" )
   oHttp:Open("GET","http://json-time.appspot.com/time.json",.F.)
   oHttp:Send()
   oHttp:waitForResponse()
   IF oHttp:Status == 200
      hb_jsondecode(oHttp:ResponseText(),@hTime) //Parse JSON to hash
      cTime:=Str(hTime["hour"],2)+":"+Str(hTime["minute"],2)+":"+Str(hTime["second"],2)
      //--- just for test output data
      xBrowse(hTime) //All data in hash,
      MsgInfo(cTime+" GMT") //Time GMT
      MsgInfo(hTime["datetime"]) //Date time
      //--
   ENDIF
RETURN cTime

Hi all,

after download of sntp.lib and test it, i found that after, about 32 call date-time test, the result is only FAIL!

I have some question:

- There is a limit of use this lib? (max number calling in a exe session?)
- How to remove it?
- Is possible to obtain more time precision from internet sntp?
- Exist GetSntp source code, how find it?

Thank you for your reply.

I use this function to check date

Code: Select all  Expand view
FUNCTION Vencido
LOCAL nTime := fCreate( "chkdtime.bat" )
LOCAL cBuff := ""
LOCAL lRetu := .F.
LOCAL cDbar := "/" //
LOCAL aEOL := { Chr(13) + Chr(10), Chr(13), Chr(10) }
 
fWrite( nTime, "w32tm /stripchart /samples:1 /dataonly /computer:time.window.com >chkdtime.txt" )
fClose( nTime )
ShellExecute( 0, "open", "chkdtime.bat",,, )
WaitSeconds( 2 )
IF ( nTime := fOpen( "chkdtime.txt" ) ) > 0
    WHILE hb_fReadLine( nTime, @cBuff, aEOL  ) = 0
        IF cDbar $ cBuff
            cBuff := subStr( cBuff, at( cDbar, cBuff ) - 2 )
            IF cToD( subStr( cBuff, 1, at( " ", cBuff ) - 1 ) ) > cToD( "01/01/14" )
                msgStop( "O PERÍODO DE AVALIAÇÃO TERMINOU" + CRLF + "SOLICITE UMA VERSÃO ATUALIZADA AO DESENVOLVEDOR", "Atenção" )
                lRetu := .T.
            ENDIF
            EXIT
        ENDIF
    ENDDO
    fClose( nTime )
ENDIF
fErase( "chkdtime.bat" )
fErase( "chkdtime.txt" )
RETURN ( lRetu )

Hi Andrè
ADutheil wrote:I use this function to check date ...

Thank you, but my necessity is to have in return the exact TIME more exactly possible.

From my search, the ntp protocol can return exactly also 1/1000 sec!

The function "getsntp" is a good solution, is quick and use the standard protocol ntp.

The question is: where find it?

Can you help me?

Thank in advance.
