You could try using date_default_timezone_set<http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php>() in your script, instead. And if you don't need to care about DST, you can define a specific GMT offset <http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.others.php>. Hope it helps :) On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 3:56 PM, Richard S.
