Question

My PHP mail is sent with a wrong date & time.
I’ve set my PHP time:

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Brussels');  

and when I

echo date('r'); //returns correctly: Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:28:00 

I get the correct time. When I send a mail however, the date of the mail is the time now + 1 day + 1 hour.

I’ve searched around and found some old docs where it was a PHP bug or so, but those date from 2001 and 2005 so I presume I’m doing someting else wrong… I expect theres no error in the sending of the mail, since it does get sent, but I’ll post my code anyway:

<?php
    session_start();
    date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Brussels');
    $receiver = '[e-mail]';
    $subject = 'Test';
    $message = 'This is a test';
    $receiver = $email;
    $headers = "From: [e-mail]" . "\r\n" . "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();
    if(mail($receiver,$subject,$message,$headers)){
        //This is done
    }
?>
