the time difference is most likely becuase your server is in a different time zone, or is at least set to a different time zone. When you run your time calculations, you can add something like this: $now = (time() - 18000); that would give you the time on the server minus 5 hours. Now I don't know the difference between time() and localtime() so I don't know how that will affect the output. -- -------------------------------------------------------------->> Jasper Howard :: Database Administration ApexEleven Web Design 1.530.559.0107 http://www.ApexEleven.com/ <<-------------------------------------------------------------- "Vincent Jordan" <vjordan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:php.db-36196@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > I am trying to track the users that visit one page on a site.
