----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew O'Brien" I run two different pages with php scripts that time stamp the form posted text that visitors post. On both pages the time stamp is three minutes "off", at one point it was three minutes ahead of nist.gov and then suddenly became 3 minutes slower. The nature of my site is that accurate time is important.
My domain hosting company Tech Support claim that their servers are sync'd with nist.gov and are thus accurate. They created a small php script with date/ time stamp and uploaded it to my site. They claim it returned the time sync'd exactly to NIST. When I ran the script it shows as 3 minutes off from my local system clock (which is also sync'd with NIST). I asked them to make sure they were doing their tests with the same server that hosts my domain, they said they did. Visitors to my site also report the time stamp is three minutes off. Any ideas on this. Does it have to be, as I think, an issue on their side or could it be the script somehow ? Check for yourself, their script is on my site at http://www.obriensweb.com/timetest.php It is three minutes "off" here. ----------------------------- At a guess I would say it is a server side problem. Post the parts of your script that handle the time and we can offer more comment.
