Question

My code is

   $start_time= time();
   echo "<BR><BR>";
   echo "start: ".date("G:i:s",$start_time);echo "<BR>";
   echo "now: ".date("G:i:s",time());echo "<BR>";
   echo "difference: ".date("G:i:s",time()-$start_time);echo "<BR>";

   echo "<BR><BR>";
   echo time()-$start_time;
   echo "<BR><BR>";

and the output is

start: 12:03:41
now: 12:06:04
difference: 10:02:23


143

Any idea why number of hours is not 0?

Have you tried explicitly setting a time zone for you script?

date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
