[SOLVED] simple php syntax question on time format

[cluce]

Can someone please tell me how to alter this to display in CST time. I looked in the manual but it is not clear on how to do this. I know its not hard. I just never did it before.

 

this is what I have....

echo date("F j, Y, g:i a"); //(ex.)March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm

You could try something like

 

$timeDiff = 1;          // time diff between server time and CST

 

echo date("F j, Y, g:i a", strtotime("-$timeDiff hours"));
