Hi Robin,
Thanks for your reply. The times are exactly synchronized. I'm looking
at the date section in the output of phpinfo(), and get the following:
Development:
D:\Documents and Settings\neil.saunders>date
The current date is: 06/11/2007
D:\Documents and Settings\neil.saunders>time
The current time is: 12:47:06.46
date
date/time support enabled
Timezone Database Version 2006.16
Timezone Database internal
Default timezone Europe/London
Directive Local Value Master Value
date.default_latitude 31.7667 31.7667
date.default_longitude 35.2333 35.2333
date.sunrise_zenith 90.583333 90.583333
date.sunset_zenith 90.583333 90.583333
date.timezone no value no value
Production:
[~]# date

date
date/time support enabled
Timezone Database Version 2006.16
Timezone Database internal
Default timezone UTC
Directive Local Value Master Value
date.default_latitude 31.7667 31.7667
date.default_longitude 35.2333 35.2333
date.sunrise_zenith 90.583333 90.583333
date.sunset_zenith 90.583333 90.583333
date.timezone no value no value
Although the timezones are different, my understanding is the UTC is a
synonym for GMT, which is based in London. This appears to be
confirmed by looking at the default latitudes and longitudes and they
match up.
Either way, setting the timezone to Europe/London in production fixed
the issue. Thanks again for your help.
Cheers,
Neil.
