server date offset

[autumn]

Hello,

I have searched for this answer through and through to no avail.

I need to fool my script to think it is a certain date (different to real server date) every single time it is executed. I don't want to add the offset to every single date() function because I would have to modify them every day. I was hoping to set the global date at runtime.

I have played with putenv() but I can't seem to work out how to set a specific date other than built-in timezones.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks.

What have you tried with putenv and what time zone are you trying to set it as?

I don't want to use this for timezone reasons.

I want the script to think today's date is for example 25 March 2006.

I was hoping to set the global date to this fake date and have all the date() functions do their calculations based on that.

out of desperation, I even tried putenv("mktime...");

I don't thinks it's possible without changing the actual server time...
