date > O

[MeGa]

checking the date() function (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php), i have found the O (Difference to Greenwich time (GMT) in hours) thing, but it dosn't explain how to use it.

any help?

[MeGa]

can i use O to change the time zone by using date?
thanks

If you use the following on a server here in Virginia, USA (GMT -5):


<?php
echo date("O");
?>

the output (to the screen) is this:

-0500

does that help?

i find that

gmdate('d/m/y g:ia',time()+($offset*3600));

works for me, where offset it the number of hours from GMT.
