Ooh thats called web scraping, you need to send a http request to target webpage then parse the response, so you can get any information you'll need. More complicated the website is more work needs to be done to get the desired result And side note, its not always reliable once the target page change its html structure you'll need to rework your code to match them

JS new Date() or Date.now() is enough for get realtime user's time, in php use date() or time()

I would like to get/use a dinamical data from a web page that doesn't belong to my domain. That this the behind idea. Creating a clock was a theme for examplification.
