Server time conversion to my local time

[CodeGod]

hello all,

the server offset where my website is hosted is -06 I want to use my local offset +5 on several places.. can anyone tell me the code to do conversion and display the time in +5 GMT offset?

thank you!

i've never worked out how to do a general offset - it's bloody inconvenient, but what i do is:

have an include file with:

$time_offset = 5;
$time_offset = $time_offset*60*60;


then include that file in every page.

then when you have a date / time, just change it to:

date("formatting",mktime()+$time_offset);

best i can offer i'm afraid.

Thanks alot jpmoriarty!

I also found another way :)

echo date("h:i:s A", strtotime("+11 hours"));

where 11 is the difference between the server and my local timezone , and it also works fine without +.
