Note Submitter: php at webparlour dot com ---- This may be ULTRA SIMPLISTIC, but having this example would have saved me (a PHP newbie) some time trying to figure out how to adjust the local server time to a different local time. Essentially, I started out with: $appdate = date("F jS Y, h:iA."); Which captures the *local server time* in $appdate: April 20th 2005, 04:44AM. BUT... The *local time* I needed reflected in the variable is 3 hours later. To accomplish this very simply, add the "time()" modifier like so: $appdate = date("F jS Y, h:iA.", time() + 10800); Which captures the *ADJUSTED local server time* in $appdate: April 20th 2005, 07:44AM. So, adding " time() + 10800" to the normal Date() function ADDS 3 hours (10800 seconds!) to the local server time. Hope this helps others struggling to make this very basic adjustment. Cheers, Jem
