a Quick Answer Problem with date()

reub77

How do I alter the date() function to add an hour to the hour of the day?

$Date = date("D, Y-m-d, h:ia");

The reason I want to the do this of course is because the host is in a different timezone. This date will only be read from the admin side so it's only important that it is in MST and nothing else. I thought doing something like this would work:

$Date = date("D, Y-m-d, h+1:ia");

But it didn't.

Thx

Well, you could use [man]strtotime[/man] or [man]mktime[/man] to add the hour, or you could just change the timeZone for the script with [man]putenv[/man], like explained here

$Date = date("D, Y-m-d, h:ia",strtotime("+1 hour"));

echo $Date;

This was my output from the last solution given:

it should be (Sat, 2004-02-21, 10:55am)

but it's not

I'm not so sure about the first solution given. Seems a bit intrusive.

Why do you think that?

Umm... are you sure you didn't just run your code again? :-)

I tested my code from my first post here, and it worked just fine.

Sorry yes it does work now. I had to change it in two places that's why I missed it.

Thanks

To reply to why i think that other method might be intrusive i quote the page you had me refer to:

Setting certain environment variables may be a potential security breach.

I don't know enough about the stuff you said to know if what i changed might be intrusive or not. But hey, my code works now so I'm happy.

Thanks again
