Hello there,

Can someone please let me know how I modify this…

<?php
date_default_timezone_set(‘Europe/London’);
echo date(‘l jS F Y, h:i A e’, time());
?>

to show…

Wednesday 23rd April 2014, 10:52 AM [B][COLOR=”#FF0000″]London GMT[/COLOR][/B]

instead of…

Wednesday 23rd April 2014, 10:52 AM [B][COLOR=”#0000CD”]Europe/London[/COLOR][/B]

Thank you for any assistance provided.

@Sup3rkirbyApr 23.2014 — You could just use:
[code=php]
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
echo date('l jS F Y, h:i A', time()) . " London GMT";
?>
[/code]

The '[I]e[/I]' in the [B]date()[/B] function displays the timezone identifier, which is '[I]Europe/London[/I]'. As far as I know there is not a timezone identifier in PHP that is '[I]London GMT[/I]', thus the [B]date()[/B] function can't actually return that part of the string you want. Thus it's easier to just add it to the end as an actual string as demonstrated above.

Success!
