My host swears its coding...

...but I know it's a server error.

 

I have a phpbb forum and the time stamps are borked.  For example, I quoted a person from a post and my post, with the quote, showed up above hers with a time stamp six minutes before she posted.  That's obvisouly not possible.  Here's the thread in question, you're looking abot halfway down for the user Renfield, me, who quoted PutridyCorpse.  You'll notice the timestamp on my post is six minutes earlier than PutridyCorpse.

Now, here's the code that is in the scripts for posting:

 

//
// Post a new topic/reply/poll or edit existing post/poll
//
function submit_post($mode, &$post_data, &$message, &$meta, &$forum_id, &$topic_id, &$post_id, &$poll_id, &$topic_type, &$bbcode_on, &$html_on, &$smilies_on, &$attach_sig, &$bbcode_uid, $post_username, $post_subject, $post_message, $poll_title, &$poll_options, &$poll_length)
{
global $board_config, $lang, $db, $phpbb_root_path, $phpEx;
global $userdata, $user_ip;

include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_search.'.$phpEx);






$current_time = time();







if ($mode == 'newtopic' || $mode == 'reply' || $mode == 'editpost')
{
	//
	// Flood control
	//

 

Is there anyone familiar with phpbb that can help with this?  Is there any way this can be a coding issue?  If not, can you think of a reason why this may happen so I can spell it out to my host?  Thanks!

It's not a PHP issue, it's a server issue as you stated.

 

The servers clock isn't functioning correctly, see if you can get your host to install ntpd.
