Displayed without local time: <?php echo date("l dS of F Y H:i:s A"); // Returns: Tuesday 02nd of November 2004 16:42:40 PM // This is wrong. 8 hours off. ?> That displays GMT though.... I need my local time! So here goes: <?php // I am -8 hours from GMT: $now = mktime(date("H")-8, date("i"), date("s"), date("m"), date("d"), date("Y")); echo date("l dS of F Y H:i:s A",$now); // Returns: Tuesday 02nd of November 2004 08:42:40 AM // This is correct! ?> Hope this helps... ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47094 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47094&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47094&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47094&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47094&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47094&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47094&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47094&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
