I neglected to include the solution in my last post for using strtotime() with date-time data stored in GMT. Append the string "GMT" to all of your datetimes pulled from MySQL or other database that store date-times in the format "yyyy-mm-dd hh:ii:ss" just prior to converting them to a unix timestamp with strtotime(). This will ensure you get a valid GMT result for times during daylight savings. EXAMPLE: <?php $date_time1 = strtotime("2004-04-04 02:00:00"); // returns bad value -1 due to DST $date_time2 = strtotime("2004-04-04 02:00:00 GMT"); // works great! ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41328 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41328&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41328&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
