time increment

I'm using
$today = date('m-d-y H:i');
to get and write to a file the date and time a user logs in.
My host server is in US Central time zone - I am in Eastern. I need to increment the hour +1
How can I do that?

 

date('m-d-y H:i',strtotime("+1 Hour"));

You may be able to change the time via htaccess which is a lot easier. You would put:

SetEnv TZ America/Chicago

In your htaccess file.

 

i would use something like

$today = date('m-d-y H:i', time()+3600);

PHP:

if you´re not familiar with time you should checkout http://se.php.net/manual/en/function.time.php

 

Thanks! Works perfectly.
