Getting the right time for my location 1

[JillC]

I have a form to email script which produces the following line in the output emails:

Here are the results from a form submission on [output type="date" format="F j, Y, g:i a"]

The trouble is the server is 2 hours ahead of local time. Is there any way I can adjust the time?

if you are using php >=5.1 then include this at the top of your script

date_default_timezone_set ("Europe/Lisbon");

(as an example to set the timezone to Lisbon time.)

putenv("TZ=Europe/Lisbon");

this will shift the timezone of all subsequent time/date commands within your script.

a list of permitted timezones is found here:

I get an error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: date_default_timezone_set() in /var/

http://www/html/mailpro.php

on line 7

then you are not using php >= 5.1.0 and you will need either to upgrade or to use the second method i provided

Oh, I hadn't understood. I thought that was 2 lines of code. I put both in.

Now that I've pulled out the first line and just left the second code, it worked! Thanks very much.

you're right, i had missed out the "or, if not:" between the two lines of code
