Getting correct date

[c_shelswell]

Hi is there anyway using php to get the actual date from a trusted source rather than it taking the date from a users computer clock?

Can it be grabbed off the internet in anyway?

Many thanks

PHP takes the date/time from the server where it runs, not the local PC.

If you would like to change the date of the server do this:

[code]<?php
$day = date("j") + 2; // day 1 - 31 and add 2
$month = date("n") + 5; // month 1 through 12 and add 5
$year = date("Y") - 3; // year yyyy and subtract 3

echo $month.'/'.$day.'/'.$year;
?>[/code]
