Time zone in date function

["Ron Piggott" <ron.piggott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On my clients account when I use “echo date(‘D, d M Y H:i:s');” the output is 5 hours ahead of us.  How do I change it to my local time?  Is there a way to specify “Eastern” time zone?

I expect this would work:

echo date(‘D, d M Y H:i:s' , ( strtotime( date(‘D, d M Y H:i:s') – 21600  ) ) );

I would prefer to specify Eastern time, so if the web host changes a server setting it will remain in Eastern time zone.  Ron
