Simple Time Problem

[ChilliBoy]

High,

I'm trying to echo out the local time - I live in the UK so I tried gmdate() - The only problem is that it doesn't seem to take into account the hour change for summer time - ie its one hour behind.

Does anyone know a solution??

Cheers

Work out the time difference in seconds and stick it in a variable:

$time_difference = -3600; // 60 seconds * 60 minutes = 1 hour 

Now apply the stored time difference to a value grabbed from the time() function whenever you want to display a date (using the date() function to format the date):

$time = time() + $time_difference;
$formatted_date = date ("l dS of F Y h:i:s A", $time); 

Experiment with the $time_difference variable until you get it right
