However, you missed the point I was trying to make, which does not have anything to do with timezones. If you copy my code and place it on any server in the world, you'll observe the same results as I did. You touched on my point with: > You'll also notice that the value of seconds computed from string is blank (i.e. not 0). This is because strtotime() doesn't know what to do with a value of '0'. Whether it should or not is probably a phillosophical debate. But you did not contribute to which side of the debate would you side. My prior opinion was that 0 should return 'Jan 1, 1970'. However, Stuart pointed out a flaw in my code. You see, I was assuming that using the return from strtotime(0) in the getdate() function would return the correct date, but this was a cascade error. I have not investigated this further.
