how to subtract one hour from time?

[alhen]

Hello,
I'm hoping there's a really easy way to subtract one hour from the time I'm entereing into my table. the code I have is:
$time = (date ("h:i:s A"));

But the server is in eastern time and I'm in central time.

Please tell me it's easy!

Thanks,

You just need to take off 3600 seconds from the timestamp:
$time = date("h:i:s A", time()-3600);

PHP5 has a new date object and timezone handling functions but unless you're working with times a lot, that's probably overkill.

$d=getdate();
echo $d[hours];
echo $d[minutes];
echo $d[seconds];
