Re: switching between timezones?

I noticed a similar/same problem, and found a possible workaround - make an abitrary call to mktime() after your putenv("TZ=..."). It seems to "activate" the timezone change. putenv("TZ=Greenwich"); mktime(0,0,0,1,1,1970); echo date("H"); "Seth Northrop" <seth@calculon.northrops.com> wrote in message news:Pine.LNX.4.21.0101072022100.29136-100000@calculon.northrops.com... > > I noticed that there are still issues with switching between > timezones.
