How to change todayis [EST] time on php form

[route609]

Hello

 

This is my very first post as i am just begining to learn php.

 

I have created/copied a contact form and implemented it into my website. Everything works fine apart from one thing, when i recieve the email from the contact form the time on the email is 5hours faster than the time the email was sent. The code i have is this:

 

$message = " $todayis [EST] \n

Attention: $attn \n

Message: $notes \n

From: $visitor ($visitormail)\n

";

 

How do i set the time/date to make sure the correct time and date show on the email from when the contact form was sent?

 

Thank you

You would need to post your code that is getting and placing the time into the message to get the quickest solution.

 

If you are using the date() function, then use the date_default_timezone_set() function (php5) to set the time zone that the code uses.

sendemail.php file source:

<?php

 

$ip = $_POST['ip'];

$httpref = $_POST['httpref'];

$httpagent = $_POST['httpagent'];

$visitor = $_POST['visitor'];

$visitormail = $_POST['visitormail'];

$notes = $_POST['notes'];

$attn = $_POST['attn'];

 

 

if (eregi('http:', $notes)) {

die ("Do NOT try that! ! ");

}

if(!$visitormail == "" && (!strstr($visitormail,"@") || !strstr($visitormail,".")))

{

echo "<h2>Use Back - [email protected]</h2>\n";

$badinput = "<h2>Feedback was NOT submitted</h2>\n";

echo $badinput;

die ("Go back! ! ");

}

 

if(empty($visitor) || empty($visitormail) || empty($notes )) {

echo "Not all fields have been completed correctly<br />\n";

die ("Please use the back button at the top of the browser");

}

 

$todayis = date("l, F j, Y, g:i a") ;

 

$attn = $attn ;

$subject = $attn;

 

$notes = stripcslashes($notes);

 

$message = " $todayis [EST] \n

Attention: $attn \n
