how to format code in a SQL query to central time ??


Recommended Posts

In the following string I have a system date and time that displays on a web page from the database. The problem I have is the web server is in a different time zone as I am.  Can someone tell me how to format this query to central time? Can this be done in MySQL? OR it has to be done in PHP?

 

//gather the topics

$get_topics_sql = "SELECT topic_id, topic_title, DATE_FORMAT(topic_create_time,  '%b %e %Y at %r') aS fmt_topic_create_time, topic_owner FROM forum_topics_reagan  WHERE topic_id = '".$_GET["topic_id"]."' LIMIT 1";

yes, I got all of those but if I have the server in a pacific time zone and I need the web to display central time, can someone tell me how to get this configured to display central time. I thought it would be pulling the time from the system time but I tried that and it didnt work. Is there something in myssql config/settings to change this to central?
