Fixxer Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 How can I make this display eastern time zone? $today = date("l, F j, Y, g:i a"); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82147-date-and-est-time/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 This should work (php5) - <?php date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York'); $today = date("l, F j, Y, g:i a"); echo $today; ?> Edit: Here is a different version that uses the EST abbreviation to figure out the timezone - <?php date_default_timezone_set(timezone_name_from_abbr("EST")); $today = date("l, F j, Y, g:i a"); echo $today; ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82147-date-and-est-time/#findComment-417461 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFMaBiSmAd Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 The end of life of php4 is in about 13 days. Except for security patches, no new development will occur for php4. Everyone should have a schedule in place for upgrading to php5.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Most web hosts have php5 available and it can either be selected through your control panel or by placing a statement in a .htaccess file. Check with your host on what method they have available. Those that don't upgrade will be left behind.

revraz Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 What time zone is your server hosted in? Just do some basic math and add/subtract the number of hours to EST.
