timezone adjustment

[tiburblium]

Greetings I am trying to change a date stored as a string ahead 2 hours. How can I do this? I will probably need to parse the string im guessing and change the value of hour? Mabey there is an easier way im hoping?

here is the string:

$date = strftime("%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S" ,strtotime($row[date]));
