How have you been doing it? Have you been using date(); ?

[NArc0t1c]

How do you mean?

 

bool date_default_timezone_set ( string $timezone_identifier )

 

Example:

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('BST');
echo date('D-M-Y');
?>

 

Edit: made life easier.

The date() function simple returns the system time from the machine it is being run on. If the server clock is set to a different time zone that the computer you are accessing it form (and want it to be the same), change the system time zone on the server running the php.

Just clarifying,

date_default_timezone_set — Sets the default timezone used by all date/time functions in a script

im getting a:

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: date_default_timezone_set() in /home4/thunder/public_html/support/index.php on line 117

Try:

<?php
ini_set('date.timezone','BST');
echo dat('Y-M-D);
?>

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date-timezone-set.php is only for php 5. Is that what's installed on your server?
