Time when using PHP

jonnyboy

I am having a problem with echoing NOW time in a php page. If I insert data into a table using NOW, the time is as per the server. If I just echo out 'date' from one page to another, the time is an hour behind the server. How do I compensate for that without messing up database inserts?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Jon

Collection Form....

<input type="hidden" name="date" value="<?php echo $now = gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s"); ?>" /></p>

Output page...

<?php {echo "{$_POST['date']}";} ?>

Congratulations; you've discovered Daylight Saving.

GMT (more precisely, UTC) doesn't do Daylight Saving. Local time does. And you're in Milton Keynes? British Summer Time is UTC+0100?

<input type="hidden" name="date" value="<?php echo date("D, d M Y H:i:s"); ?>" /></p>

(Using server local time instead of UTC, 'cos that's what the DBMS's NOW() uses unless you can specify UTC there as well...)

Output page...

<?php {echo $_POST['date'];} ?>
