HI all,

I have found out how to manipulate the gmdate() function but when I come to extract the time out, the time is one hour back.
I have tried adding an extra hour to the time, but to no success.

e.g. My current UK time is now 16:45.
When I come to display the time, the screen says 15:45


any ideas anyone?!...

Michael.

Are you using a remote server? Is it in the same time zone?

Hi there,

I am using the server locally here at work. I have checked both times on the server and on my computer and both are the same to GMT time, (UK).

this is why im a bit confused why gmDate() is not picking up the correct time.

I have looked at the php.ini and httpd file and can not find any mention of date or time within the file.

Try this:

$time = gmdate('format',time()+1200);

HTH,

That worked but, another problem has appeared with the minutes.

The server time is now 11:07. when i come to use the code:
the time generated in PHP is: 10:27:08.
There now seems to be an addition of 20 minutes??! this is bizzare.

any ideas why this is happening or a way around this?

thanks.

Michael.

to add onto the above email with the minute problem.
The Server is Windows 2000, running Apache 2.0.47, PHP 4.3.3 and MySQL 4.0.15.

cheers.

Michael.

The time you told me PHP is giving is 10:27:08 when it should be 11:27:08.

So try this:

<?php
$timeNow = gmdate('H:i:s',time()+1500);
echo $timeNow;
?>

And this:

<?php
$timeNow = gmdate('H:i:s',time()+2700);
echo $timeNow;
?>

hiya,

yes, originally it was saying 10:27:08 when it should be 11:27:08 but when the time was edited to include +1200, it altered the time again.

ive played around with the time additions and the time is now fixed.

Solution made is: $timeNow = (gmdate('H:i',time()+3600));

Im still finding it strange how its not picking up the local server time.

Thanks for your help Snib. =)

Michael.
