If you want to change the time without reloading the page, you have to use javascript. — xjmdoo

You can't do that with just PHP because PHP runs on the server. — David Schwartz

You cannot use PHP to display and update the time without refreshing the page. PHP runs on the server, so when you access your page it generates the output for you and it won't change until you refresh it. However, you can do this with javascript. Here is an example that can help you get started: link.

Try it with javascript like this:  

<div class="classname">
        <span class="classname" id="clockDisplay"></span>
        </div> 

     <script>
            function renderTime() {
                var currentTime = new Date();
                var diem = "AM";
                var h = currentTime.getHours();
                var m = currentTime.getMinutes();
                var s = currentTime.getSeconds();
                setTimeout('renderTime()',1000);
                if (h == 0) {
                    h = 12;
                }
                else if (h == 12) {
                    diem="PM";
                }

                else if (h > 12) {
                    h = h - 12;
                    diem="PM";
                }


                if (h < 10) {
                    h = "0" + h;
                }
                if (m < 10) {
                    m = "0" + m;
                }
                if (s < 10) {
                    s = "0" + s;
                }
                var myClock = document.getElementById('clockDisplay');
                myClock.textContent = h + ":" + m + ":" + s + " " + diem;
                myClock.innerText = h + ":" + m + ":" + s + " " + diem;
            }
            renderTime();
        </script>
