I've looked it up in the php.net documentation, but I didn't see anything that helped me, so I'll ask here...

How do I adjust the time so that it displays the central time zone? It's two hours off. :|

Aye, I've just spent the last 10 mins looking at php.net, and I'm still not finding any sensible information on adjusting your timezone. Perhaps others can, but there are so many different functions that I'm not sure which to use (and how to use it correctly).

I'm quite befuddled.

On the time() function page there is a function to handle time offsets

I looked at it, but I have no idea how the heck to use it.

PHP Code:

<?php

$time = time();
$time += (-5 * 3600);

/* Change the -5 with any time offset
        -5 : EST
        -6 : CST
        +7 : WAST
   etc.
*/

?>

Just add <offset> * 3600 to the UTC time (mktime() or time() should return UTC time on most servers. If yours does not, then offset the time so it is UTC, then offset again to get where you want), and you have the time in that timezone

Alright, thanks, I'll try that.

That gives me this: 1114362

Is there something I'm missing?

Make sure your time is a timestamp. If it's not a timestamp, try using strtotime to convert it to a timestamp, then do your modifications, then use date to turn it back to a textual date.

Alright, amazingly, I figured out how to use it. Thanks a lot!

Edit: Scratch that, I didn't catch it at first, but it's a whole hour off.

I'm really no good with this time crap.. I don't know why it's so difficult for me to comprehend, but it is. Here's my current code for getting the time:

PHP Code:

                    $time = time() + (-6 * 3600);
                    $timestamp = strtotime(+0224);
                    $timef = date("g:iA T", $timestamp); 


By the way, I know the first line isn't connected to the rest right now.

If you could take a few seconds, could you give me the code that would give me CST time in that format (g:iA T (timezone doesn't even show up))? At least that way I could read the code and figure it out... otherwise, it's just not clicking in my mind right now, and I don't know why.
