note 88626 deleted from function.gmmktime by danbrown

Note Submitter: admin (ad) djokodonev.com ---- I tried making a date & time class of my own... It was supposed to calculate the server offset in seconds.... gmmktime was supposed to generate the GMT +0000 timestamp as i thought would later on use it for being sure of the time a supposed event happened by addig the specific time zone offset to display the date. The function normally does that, as shown below untill you set a UTC timezone.. Then it returns the same thing as the time() function... I am kind new at this so forgive me if I've missed something. I do not see this mentioned anywhere in the documentation.... The below function will always give the server offset from the GMT +0000, only when the time zone is UTC some kind, then you get the same results. This should be mentioned since the first time i saw the function, i thought it should represent the time stamp relative to the current time zone e.g will produce a timestamp of the current hour in seconds but in the GMT+0000 zone.. Please avoid using this function since the results are quite unexpected.. See below: $gmt = gmmktime(date('H', time()),date('i', time()), date('s', time()), date('m', time()), date('d', time()), date('Y', time())); echo date("M d Y H:i:s", $gmt)."<br>"; echo date("M d Y H:i:s", time())."<br>"; $serv_offset = $gmt - time(); echo "GMT: ".$gmt."<br>"; echo "TIME: ".time()."<br>"; echo 1233409810 - 1233409819; echo "<br>".($serv_offset/3600)."<br><br> ";
