Is there an easy way to change the time that shows when printing a report.
I have
<?php
date("g:i:s a")
?>
but that shows the server time which is in another time zone from where I live.
I saw the setlocale function at php.net but that did not change anything. well, it changed other things but not the time.
help!

What report?
<?php
$hourdiff = "0";
$timeadjust = ($hourdiff * 60 * 60);
$last_modified = filemtime("index.php");
echo"Last Modified: ";
$adjtime =date("l F j, Y g:ia", $last_modified + $timeadjust);
print ("$adjtime");
echo" EDT";
?>
The above takes the time a file was last changed and if needed, can modify the time by adding a number to "$hourdiff". Just take your local time as you have it listed and add the new vaiable to the $hourdiff in the &adjtime calculation.
That make sense?
lets see:
<?php
$hourdiff = "-1";
$timeadjust = ($hourdiff * 60 * 60);
$adjtime =date ("g:ia", + $timeadjust);
print ("$adjtime");
?>
With the above whatever the server time is, the display time now will be -1 hour.
That help?

ooops. Try this one.
<?php
$date=date(U); // format date for calculation in seconds
//print ("$date"); //if you want to see the date format now
$hourdiff = "1"; //change the server time plus one hour
$timeadjust = ($hourdiff * 60 * 60); //this is how to calc it
$adjtime = date("g:ia", $date + $timeadjust); //format display
print ("$adjtime"); //print the adjusted time
?>
This one works!
