date()

[alfoxy]

Hello all
Quick question ...
Im using the date("H:i") function to record the time of users posting messages but it always shows a time 53 minutes fast. Does time get its setting from my computer or a server somewhere ?
Thanks

u can use this function like that:
<?php $hr=date('h');
$da=date('i');
$se=date('s');
print($hr.":".$da.":".$se);
?>

I cannot test this but give it a go.

echo "It is now " . date("h:i", mktime()-3180);

All time/date functions are getting the current time from the server's CMOS clock. If your host is in a different timezone than you, then all time/dates will be off from your clock. You can easily compensate for this by adding/subtracting seconds from UNIX timestamps.
