The only way to be _certain_ you're getting a valid human-readable UTC time value out of date() is to cache the timestamp, like so: $t=time; // Produce a OpenLDAP timestamp value, UTC time. $utc_time = date ('YmdHis', $t - date('Z', $t)) . 'Z'; Otherwise if daylight savings time ticks over between the determination of the current time and the determination of the current UTC offset your result will be off by 2 hours! It's easier to use gmdate(). ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+44346 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+44346&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+44346&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
