A quick note about DATE_RSS and daylight savings... DATE_RSS will return the timezone that your server is in as part of the format, which is normally correct when formatting a date for an RSS feed (RFC-822). However, if you're in the UK and it's the summer, your timezone is set as "BST". This is not actually a valid RFC-822 timezone, thereby rendering DATE_RSS a bit useless for six months of the year. The valid extension would actually be GMT. You should therefore adjust the time back by 1 hour and substitute the BST for GMT. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 81.145.46.124 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91467 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91467/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91467/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91467/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91467/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91467/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91467/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91467 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91467 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
