By calling time() you can get the current system time as a UNIX timestamp (that is, measured in the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT)).
The usual time zone and minute length complications apply.
If you need to, you can format this into a string of text (will be understandable for humans using the Gregorian solar calendar) by calling date(...) with some useful parameters. For example:
date("r", time()) will return a string in RFC2822 format, as used by E-Mail, denoting the current system time.
date("c", time()) will return a string in ISO8601 format, as used by most database management systems for date display and input, denoting the current system time.
There are all kinds of extra formats, see

Is there an event in PHP?
By an event I assume you mean a pre determined page of code that you can run at a specific date and time. In the language PHP, the answer is no. You cannot do this. On most Linux / Unix servers that use PHP, you can create a cron job that will run your code at a given date and time. When you put in the page address, make sure you use the full root address or it will not run.

What is an example PHP script that would display a digital clock?
This question is ambiguous to completely answer, because displaying a digital clock has different interpretations. In the following, a digital clock is assumed to be 2 digits for the hours and 2 digits for the minutes with a colon in between, styled at your discretion to look like a digital clock.If you want to display the time statically as of the page loading, grab the current time() and throw it into date($format, $time). The time() function will retrieve the current time in seconds from the Unix Epoch (1/1/1970). The date() function will take this timestamp and format it, according to the format string given. See the related link for complete documentation on possible formats. The following example works fine:$time = time();$format = 'h:i A'; // "h" is the current hour, "i" the current minute, and "a" AM or PM.echo date($format, $time);This will effectively output the time as a digital clock would. You may change the format to alter how the hours and minutes are displayed, and even provide more (or less) information about the current time.If you want to display the time and have it dynamically update to reflect the current time, you will need to use Javascript -- which is out of the scope of this question.
