Many servers run in UTC by default, so yes, you should set your timezone in your php.ini or if you don't have access to that in some common include file.

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 ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-03-15 00:03:06] rasmus@php.net Or I guess you are Pacific actually. 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
