Hi There, I had a similar problem because of BST (British Sumer Time). Have a look on Yahoo / Google etc for a site about Greenwich Mean Time, and find out the dates that the schemes take effect - I think it is March 25th to beginning or end of October. Then use a simple if statement. <? $hour = date("H"); if ((date("m") > 3) && (date("d") > 25) && (date("m") < 10) && (date("d") < 31)) { $hour = $hour - 1; } ?> Hope that helps. James.
