note 52061 added to function.date

This may be ULTRA SIMPLISTIC, but having this example would have saved me (a PHP newbie) some time trying to figure out how to adjust the local server time to a different local time. Essentially, I started out with: $appdate = date("F jS Y, h:iA."); Which captures the *local server time* in $appdate: April 20th 2005, 04:44AM. BUT... The *local time* I needed reflected in the variable is 3 hours later. To accomplish this very simply, add the "time()" modifier like so: $appdate = date("F jS Y, h:iA.", time() + 10800); Which captures the *ADJUSTED local server time* in $appdate: April 20th 2005, 07:44AM. So, adding " time() + 10800" to the normal Date() function ADDS 3 hours (10800 seconds!) to the local server time. Hope this helps others struggling to make this very basic adjustment.
