i'm pretty sure you can sync/link to a ntp server to accurately track the
time...

Subject: [PHP] Unix date
Hi gang:
Using:
$unix_in = 1255845600;
echo(date("M d, Y h:i:s a",$unix_in));
On one sever, produces: Oct 18, 2009 02:00:00 am
But on another sever, produces: Oct 18, 2009 12:00:00 am
This difference appears to be a combination of "time-zone" and
"daylight-savings" considerations. In other words, the function
date() looks at the server's time (whatever that is set for, right or
wrong) and uses that for the calculation.
So, what's the best method in keeping things consistent across
servers? Is there one?
Cheers,
tedd
