unix timestamp

[adammc]

Hi guys,

A script I am using is fetching the servers time and placing it into the DB using this:
$timeNow = date("U");

My question is, how can I format this to 'my' local timezone?

[adammc]

To better explain...

I need to convert the sewrver timestamp into my loal times timestamp (+10)

[phranque]

what is

'my' local timezone

?
you might want to look at the localtime function:
[php.net...]

if you mean local to the browser, that's a different issue...

Sorry, I meant that I wanted to change it into a (+10) offset timestamp

[adammc]

$timeNow = date("U") + (10 * 60 * 60);

I have tried this, but the result was a time 6hours behind.

You could use mktime() [php.net] and then format the output using date() [php.net].

$timeNow = mktime() + 36000; // Time now plus 10 hours (expressed in seconds)
echo date("j F Y", $timeNow);
