Question

I have this code:

$date = date("m/d/Y H:i:s");

But it displays 1 day advance for date and 5 hours late for time from my computer time.

For ex:
My date/time is 07/25/2011 10:12PM

this code displays:
07/26/2011 05:12:43

What could be the problem?

Answer 1

It is probably running on a server in a different timezone than your computer. You can use date_default_timezone_set to set it to the correct timezone before calling date(); Find the correct timezone identifier for your timezone from this list: http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
