Ahhhh geez *slaps forehead*.
okay, so the time stamps should be *close* to equal, and the difference
between the two machines is about 23 mins, so that's okay, but:
when I run
echo date('d M Y H:m:s','1014261839');
on the two machines, I get different results.
local: 21 Feb 2002 14:02:59
live: 20 Feb 2002 21:02:59
this is a difference of exactly 17 hours, so what is date() taking into
consideration? the timezone of the server?
if i'm putting timestamps into my database (in canada, apparantly 17
hours behind me), I just need to know what I need to do to that
timestamp before running it thru date() to get my local time
(melbourne/sydney) printed to the page.
thanks,
