note 31133 added to function.date

Here is a quick bit of code that will take a unix epoch date (say from a MySQL database) and allow you to add or subtract the time zone. It will also check to see if the machine (server) is in daylight savings or not. (This is especially helpful as I am in Missouri, but host some sites in Arizona, which doesn't do daylight savings). In this case the Unix epoch time is represented by "date(U)" but could easily be retieved from a database. $date123=date(U); $dst=date(I); //determines whether server is in daylight savings or not, 1=yes, 0=no if ($dst==1){ $tz="7200"; //7200 seconds = 2 hours } else{ $tz="3600"; //3600 seconds = 1 hour } $diff=$date123 - $tz; //subtract timezone diff from epoch echo date("n-j-Y, g:i:s a", $date123); echo date("n-j-Y, g:i:s a", $diff); /* results 4-10-2003, 3:26:39 pm 4-10-2003, 1:26:39 pm */ -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31133 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31133 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31133
