note 62885 added to function.gmdate

I was struggling with how to get my browser to output MY local time using gmdate(). I figured it out and here's what you do (ASSUMING THE SERVER IS ON GMT, If not, just echo a generic gmdate() without timezone setting and calculate the number of hours ahead or behind you are of that time, convert it to seconds and add [for ahead] or subtract [for behind] that value to time() ): NOTE: these are US times [setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_US')] for Central Time (7 hours behind GMT): gmdate("format", time()-(25200)); For Pacific Time (9 hours behind GMT): gmdate("format", time()-(32400)); REMEMBER - THE VALUES ABOVE ASSUME THE SERVER IS ON GMT I used the following gmdate() format: "l, F jS, Y g:i a" but you can use what you like ;) Hope this helps! ---- Server IP: 146.231.115.1 Probable Submitter: 67.190.253.115 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gmdate.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/62885 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62885/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62885/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62885/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62885/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62885/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62885/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62885 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/62885 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
