date() giving the wrong time

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 02.2009

So, I’ve been searching around trying to find the answer on my own, but I am now totally stumped. the date function is giving me a time that is 1 hour in the future. From my understanding PHP is getting the time from apache, but when I look at my apache logs, they all have the correct time listed, I am not changing my timezone anywhere by using date_default_timezone_set(). Any suggestions?
Thanks.

@NogDogSep 02.2009 — Is there a date.timezone setting in your php.ini (or .htacess)?

@coreillyauthorSep 02.2009 — There wasn't originally but I tried adding one to httpd in apache to correct it.

[CODE]SetEnv TZ America/Indianapolis [/CODE]

The oddest thing is, when I was doing some testing, I went to a page, then looked in my access log files on apache, and those timestamps were correct, but I'm still an hour ahead what the time should be in PHP

@coreillyauthorSep 02.2009 — I'd like to get the date() fuction returning the right thing but it also seems to be adding an hour if I manually try and create a time taken from a form.

[CODE]date("F j, Y H:i",strtotime($_POST['startDate']." ".$_POST['shr']. ":".$_POST['smin']))[/CODE]
That one is really driving me nuts.

Success!
