check it and let me know – Deenadhayalan Manoharan Aug 11 '15 at 09:36
thanks alot and can you help me about this warning about time zone i have no idea about that **Warning: date_create(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone** – Asif Ali Aug 11 '15 at 09:38
