Your answer is the correct but.. Do i need to add that line to ALL my php files ? (lets say i have 100) Ok.. i can change one line on php.ini but.. What about if I use a hosting provider and they don't want to change it ? I think is much better if Php reads the timezone directly from the PC, just as Mysql does What do you think about that ?

Then use: date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles'); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-03-15 00:02:00] rasmus@php.net Set your timezone. You are getting UTC back. date_default_timezone_set('America/Denver'); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-03-14 23:58:07] sunco007 at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ Want to get the date without any calculations and i got it wrong Is 15:54:09 and Php.. date("H:i:s") returns me 22:54:09 date("h:i:s") returns me 10:54:09 Maybe you need to check exactly on March 14 2011 to see the same result as me Test script: --------------- <? echo date("H:i:s"); // or echo date("h:i:s"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Current time Actual result: -------------- The time +7 hours ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54253&edit=1
