working with date time simple question :-)

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 27.2007

Afternoon all 🙂

I’ve built a function that records what is downloaded, and by who’m on my website. The last thing that is left is to record the date.

I have it recording fine & I calculate the date using

[code=php]
$date = date(“Y-m-d G:i:s”);
[/code]

however, the time returned is 1hour ahead of me (assuming thats because of the locality settings on my service provider) How can I adjust the value returned by

[code=php]
$date = date(“Y-m-d G:i:s”);
[/code]

To take this into account or alternatively amend it after its returned and just before i submit it to the database?

Many thanks in advance.
Leigh

@aj_nscMar 27.2007 — Set the timezone before you do your date calculations.

Something like this:
[code=php]
 //this is my timezone
date_default_timezone_set("America/St_Johns");
[/code]

For a complete list of timezone abbreviations, check out php.com
