getting current time

[Zephilinox]

    time_t currentTime;

    struct tm * ptm = localtime(&currentTime);
    std::cout << ptm->tm_hour << ":" << ptm->tm_min << ":" << ptm->tm_sec << std::endl;
}

output:
6:45:32
2:21:56
...
2:21:56

they are both wrong, in hours and minutes, but after the 6:45:32 (or whatever it decides to print out) it always prints 2:21:56, does anyone know how to get it working?

heh, never mind

    time_t currentTime = time(0);

    struct tm *ptm = localtime(&currentTime);
    std::cout << ptm->tm_hour << ":" << ptm->tm_min << ":" << ptm->tm_sec << std::endl;

I think you need to initialize currentTime first using the time() function.
