Question

I have changed the way i save the time when a log is submitted to the DB by using the ‘datetime’ stamp in MySQL.

Im saving it in this format date(“Y-m-d G:i:s”); which outputs it like so: 2012-02-22 20:20:01

The only problem is im in the UK, and my hosting/server isnt.

I have found out how to edit the time to bring it inline with UK time by doing this:
date = date(“Y-m-d G:i:s”, strtotime(“+14”));

So now i have the time right i thought i would be ok, but now i have noticed that the date is not inline with UK date/time.

If i did a submission now it would display: 2012-02-22 20:25:36 when the time/date is actually 2012-02-23 20:20:01.

So it looks like that because my script is 14 hours behind, its knocking the date out to.

Is there a way i can fix it ?

Thanks, Sam!
