Getting wrong time with date("H:i", time());

[epic_era1]

Hello,

I'm having a bit of problem with the

date("H:i", time());  

, i'ts returning one hour ahead of the real time and I can't figureout why?

any help is most appreciated..

 

thanks in advance

date("H:i") is going to return the value of time on the server which is probably not in your time zone. The real time is ... variable.

correct, date() function will returnt the server time instead of your local computer time, you can add or minus to make it right.

Gee, thanks for the confirmation

 

Or was it just a post count booster?

nah, it happed to me once, the server was located in US, and the competition was located in Australia, I miscalculated the time different, the competition closed earlier one hour..

 

oops... so, now im very becareful with the timezone.

[epic_era1]

would this happen if the host is on my own computer?

It shouldn't

You can use date_default_timezone_set

to set the default time zone.
