asp_web_howto thread: Adding 5 hours to current time()


Message #1 by david@s... on Tue, 28 Aug 2001 13:03:16
Hi,



My site is hosted in the US on a server with US EST regional settings but 

I want to display date and times in GMT.



So, when I call the Date() function, I want to add 5 hours (the difference 

between the regional setting and GMT). 



For example, if the regional setting is 23:47 on 28th August 2001 then I 

want to return 04:47 on 29th August 2001.



I've tried using the following: DateAdd("h", 5, Date()) but this returns 

05:00 on 28th August 2001.



i.e it adds 5 hours to the beginning of the day, it does not add 5 hours 

to current time.



Does anyone have any ideas how to get around this problem





Cheers



Dave

Try:

DateAdd("h",5,Now)
