PHP time offset

[dpt321]

Hi all,

I have inherited a php script that I am hosting on a US server but am trying to get it to work using Australian timezones (its a booking script).

BEfore you ask, changing the timezone of the server is unfortunately not an option.

I have narrowed the problem code down to the below, adding the below to the top of the script

date_default_timezone_set('Australia/ACT');

gets the display part working but when they submit times for booking based on the

$dtDate

variable, it is submitted based on server time.

 

Any ideas?

<? session_start();
date_default_timezone_set('Australia/ACT');
require 'common.php';

$dtDate = date("Y-m-d", mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m")  , date("d")+$_SESSION[OFFSET], date("Y")));

?>

Yes, but you did not provide any information in your post as to what result you ARE getting vs what you expect.

 

For all we can tell, you are then storing this information in a database and using DB query functions that are using the database's timezone setting and not matching the correct information.
