time question.

[edward]

Whenever I use $time = date("g:i a"); The time is always 4 hours later.
For instance, lets say its 5:55, it will say 9:55.

What can I do to change this?

When you echo the date minus 4 hours from it. There are many time zones in the world and your obviously not in the same time zone as the server.

Can you tell me how to do that?

easiest way is to use gmdate (which always returns gmt time zone) and add or remove the number of hours you want. This way you get the same result no matter what server you use.

Or, you could use the function PHP made for timezones - date_default_timezone_set() (http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php) ;)

Nice, i didnt know about that one.
But then i only look up functions as i need them, and i never needed to know the timezone for anything.
