[SOLVED] working with dates

[CincoPistolero]

I have a page that displays current date. Cool. Problem, It appears that the server is in central europe. So here it is 3pm in California and my page thinks its tomorrow. Below is how I get the date. Is there a way to change this so it subracts like 9 hours from the current server time.

 

createdDate= date("F j, Y");

Good place to start.  http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php

 

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');

$script_tz = date_default_timezone_get();

if (strcmp($script_tz, ini_get('date.timezone'))){
    echo 'Script timezone differs from ini-set timezone.';
} else {
    echo 'Script timezone and ini-set timezone match.';
}
?>

I also found this

 

<?
echo "Original Time: ". date("h:i:s")."\n";
putenv("TZ=US/Eastern");
echo "New Time: ". date("h:i:s")."\n"; 
?>
