Timestamp -8 GMT

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 22.2008

Hey all,
I have a timestamp in the sql server and when I call that field I get:

[code=html]2008-02-22 18:13:47[/code]

I need it to render:

[code=html]2008-02-22 10:13:47[/code]

How can I adjust the hours to reflect the timezone I’m in (or specify) without writing anything to the sql server again. Can I do it in the same page render that I get the initial timestamp from?

@towerboyauthorFeb 25.2008 — OK, I can figure out how to subtract the hours by "X" but what if it goes on to the previous day? Example:
[CODE]2008-02-22 05:13:47 subtract 8 hours = 2008-02-22 21:13:47[/CODE]
But the date stays the same. It should be:
[CODE]2008-02-21 21:13:47[/CODE]
What do you think I can do about that?
[code=php]if($hours < '0'){
$day = $day - 1;
}
if($day < '1'){
$month = $month - 1;
}
if($month < '1'){
$year = $year - 1;
}[/code]
Obviously I will need to explode the timestamp to get the individual values before it will work but am I on the right track or is there an easier way?

Success!
