note 34842 added to function.date

i am using the date function to add a 'timestamp' to a "shoutbox" on my website. but it is responding with the SERVERS hour of day. Which is 2 hours behind my time. i want it to respond with MY time. is there a way i can just tell it to respond with a different hour or set a timezone to get the time from, or something. thanks! please email me your help. kpjuni@sinfactor.com ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34842 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34842&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34842&report=yes
