Can someone help correct this function.

- Top of the page -

In my actual script.

[code]$postdate = strtotime($dbentry['postdate']);
$date = date('j F Y, g:i a', $postdate); //Currently does very little
$date = timezone($date);[/code]

My function
[code]
function timezone($date) {
global $userdata;

$timezone = $userdata['user_timezone'];
$serverTime = "1.0";
$difference = ($timezone - $serverTime);

$date -= ($difference * 3600);

$ourTime = date('d/m/Y h:i:s',$date);
echo $ourTime;
}[/code]

The function is supposed to take the date variable and convert it to the users timezone. Currently when i run it, there are no errors but the output is the 1/1/1970 time, instead of the current time +/- an hour.

$timezone is a decimal 1.0, 2.0, based on how far ahead or behind GMT the user is.

If they're behind, are you using a - number? If so, won't that result in you trying to use date() on a negative number? I think that won't work. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Perad]

hmm yes so it would. Have you got any ideas on how to address this?

Oh wait, no it shouldn't...I confused myself. Mmmm...
Can you try putting it in a loop and running it for all the possible offsets? Let's see where it's messing up?
