date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Calcutta');
$time= date('D,F j, Y, H:i:s A');
$ip=getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
mysql_query("INSERT into visitordetails (ip,time) VALUES ('$ip','$time')") or die(mysql_error());
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Calcutta');
$time= date('D,F j, Y, H:i:s A');

Dont format the date until you pull the data out of the database
its much quicker to update the table or perform compares when later reporting if the data is timestamp

<?php
$timestamp = time();
$timeout = $timestamp - 1500;
//Insert User
$insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO TG_whos_online (timestamp, ip, file) VALUES('$timestamp','".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."','".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."')") or die("Error in who's online insert query!");
//Delete Users
$delete = mysql_query("DELETE FROM TG_whos_online WHERE timestamp<$timeout") or die("Error in who's online delete query!");
//Fetch Users Online
$result = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT ip FROM TG_whos_online") or die("Error in who's online result query!");
$users = mysql_num_rows($result);
