Time Help

Hello,


I have this script and it shows GMT time and I need it to show -8 GMT
for PST time.


Here is the code that needs changing.


( "F j, Y g:ia T", $row[date] )




What do I change to get it to -8?


Any help would be appreciated.

gmstrftime()

I just need an example as I looked at the site and I'm not good with
PHP.

The example is quite obvious, what is it that you don't understand?

( "F j, Y g:ia T", $row[date] - 8*3600 )

i.e. subtract 8 hours (an hour is 3600 seconds) from the time before
displaying it.

There might be some funniness around daylight savings, but there's always
funniness around then. This is why I think daylight savings, and perhaps
even time zones as a whole, should be abolished. Everyone should just use
UTC for everything all the time.

Thank you Toby for the example.

This is exactly what I needed.

One more quick question. How do I make say PST instead of GMT?

My god man RTFM!

You could use

timezone_offset_get()

The examples are on the page http://www.php.net/timezone_offset_get()
so i cant be bothered typing it out for you.
