But I think there is something else beside timezones going on here, but I could be wrong. My server is set to America New York (+5 hours) and uses PHP version 5.2.17 Let's consider this -- you are in a different time zone than me, right? You said UTC and mine is America New York. As such you claim is that your strtotime() function will return a different result for you as compared to me because of the time zone differences, right? If so, then tell me why I can take both sites (your and mine) and click the Submit buttons at the same time and the forms will report back the exact same number of elapsed seconds. Try it (you got to be quick): http://www.webbytedd.com/cccc/strtotime/index.php http://quitelikely.com/~geoff/strtotime/index.php Why is that? By what you said, shouldn't the reports be offset (+5 hours) by the local timezone differences? What am I not understanding here?
