You could use putenv("TZ=<your timezone here>"); This will force the server through the duration of your script to think it is a specific timezone. For example: # Make me GMT putenv("TZ=Greenwich"); See: http://www.php.net/manual/function.putenv.php Or some previous discussion on the topic: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=97566467632187&w=2 If you want this to change for all of your users then you need to build some form of database which stores user info / timezone data and work from there. Hope this helps, Seth
