AM/PM in GMT

[Anon]

I figured out how to get central time out of GMT using:

$realtime = date( "h:i:s A", mktime(gmdate("h")+6,gmdate("i"),gmdate("s")));

Which will show 6:00 AM when its 12:00 AM GMT. But, when its 6:00 AM GMT, the correct time should show 12:00 PM CNT but it shows 12:00 AM CNT. The A isn't increasing with the h to make the A (AM/PM) show what it is in Central time.

Is there a way to make the A jump 6 hours to? Or a way to get the A to show what US Central Time is. The server is in Pacific time and will jump 2 hours behind if I call the time() function by itself.

Actually, if you call time(), no matter what time zone you are in, it will return the GMT time. (And don't forget, if your client clock is off, you are really going to get some strange results!).

I am having the same problem being on EST, while my server is on PST, and time() returns GMT.

Gets confusing, eh?
