My server's timezone is set to "(GMT) Greenwish Mean Time : Dublin,
Edinburgh, Lisbon, London".
There you have why, you set it to GreenwiSh, which is kind of Greenwich but
not quite.
I think that being on the western end of Europe, those countries decided to
adopt a more pan-European time zone, even if that does not match precisely
their astronomical hour. That makes cross border businesses easier by
having common working hours. It might also have to do with whether it is
Savings Time or not.
I remember going to the Greenwich observatory and the big clock there didn't
show the local time at all. (and the line carved on the floor is not 0
longitude either, that line is more than a hundred meters east of the real
geographical 0),
Satyam
But when I echo out date( 'O' ), it's returning the offset as +0100 and
not +0000. Why? I would think that it should return +0000. Am I wrong?
thnx,
Chris
