Curt,
The admin that is in charge of the server swears that the time zone is already set
to Australia / Sydney
It is definately a system problem. I actually looked at the source
code for the date() function and all it does is get the time
information from the systems localtime call.
A 'man localtime' might reveal more information about how the
timezone needs to be set.
Although the environment setting for the cron fle should work fine,
you could even go so far as setting that in your php file:
putenv('TZ=Australia/Sydney');
hth,
Curt

RE: [PHP] unexpected date results
The reason for the difference is due to the timezone bit (or whatever it's called..) Note the +1000 in this line time = Thu, 21 Aug 2003 15:28:36 +1000 and the + in this line time = Thu, 21 Aug 2003 05:28:42 + so both are actually the same times (bar a few seconds..) But for the reason why one is showing GMT and the other Oz time, I don't know... HTH though Martin -Original Message- From: Cody Phanekham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 21 August 2003 3:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] unexpected date results Ive got a pretty simple script that runs at 5 past midnight. It grabs the local date/time and processes data based on the date/time. The problem is the date/time returned by the date() function is incorrect. here is a sample script (not actual script running on server): test.php ? $t = time(); echo \nbrtimestamp = $t; echo \nbrtime = . date(r, $t); ? if i run test.php via the web it produces the following output, which is correct: timestamp = 1061443716 time = Thu, 21 Aug 2003 15:28:36 +1000 if i run test.php via the command line it produces the following output, which is off by 10 hours: brtimestamp = 1061443722 brtime = Thu, 21 Aug 2003 05:28:42 + has this happened to anyone before? what could cause the huge difference in time?
