elmas156 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I'm using a time stamp where I'm getting the date and time from the database server rather than using a unix time stamp. Because I'm in a different time zone as the server, my time was always off by 1 hour. I fixed that problem by writing some code to adjust the hour of the time and the date depending on what time it was. It was working fine until a few weeks ago when I had to adjust my clock for daylight savings time... now the time is off by 2 hours because of that. Well, I fixed that and now it's working fine again. My question is does anyone know of a way to automatically determine whether or not I should be in daylight savings time or not so I can just use an if/else statement to keep the time adjusted properly rather than having to do it manually every time the time changes? Basically, I would like to do it something like the following: <?php if ($daylightsavings = "y") { (adjust time/date for 1 hour difference); } else { (adjust time/date for 2 hour difference); } ?> Anyone have any ideas?

jdavidbakr Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Try date_default_timezone_set() to change your script into your own time zone.
