Hello. I'm working on a problem that I can't seem to figure out on my own. I have a table with a datetime column named "entrytime". what i'm trying to do is put a correctly formatted date into this column using an insert statment, and the php date() function, with one little twist: the date is the current time on the server + 2 hours (as it turns out, the server hosting my page is in a different time zone then I am and I want the dates/times to be relative to me, not the server). I can't seem to find a way to add 2 hours to the date before the function returns the string. I briefly looked over the mktime() function, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was doing. I've come accross many solutions using it though to add an extra day to the month, but i'm not sure if it will also work for adding 2 hours to the date. any ideas?? thanks for your help
