Strange date behavior

ccrowder

Hello,

I'm moving some php scripts to a diffrerent server. On the new server the following code doesn't yield the same result.

   $time = 1051934875;
   $time = date("M j, Y g:i a", $time);
   echo "$time";

On the old server the result is "May 3, 2003 12:07 am" on the new server the result is "May 3, 2003 4:07 am". The old server is running PHP 4.2.2 and the new one is running 4.3.1. Any ideas on why I'm not getting the same result would be appreciated.

maybe using gmdate() instead of date() helps ??

I went on a date with this girl once that insisted on separating all the food on her plate so that they didn't touch. Now THAT's strange date behavior.

What? Why are you looking at me like that? It's on topic! 😃

Oh... sorry... perhaps your two servers are operating on different time zones? Which can be remedied by using ir4z0r's suggestion... 🙂

:eek: Good thing your date didn't order stew. 😃 It would have been a long night 😃

I hadn't thought about the timezones also affecting past times 😃 I'm still a bit confused though. The new server is in another timezone. The system time on the new server is 1 hour ahead of the old server. So where does the 4 hour difference in the result of my script come from.
