Weird PHP Time

    Hi,

    I am using windows XP and running a local server on my PC.

    I am using the following PHP code to generate the current System time:

    <?php echo date("g:i a", time()) ;?>
    Code (markup):
    To my surprise, I see the output as 2:36 pm where as my localtime is 8:08 PM

    Why is there approx 6.3 hrs of difference b/w my system time and my local server time?


    Any help will be appreciated

    Thanx

    try using one of the follow formats:

    <?php
    // Assuming today is: March 10th, 2001, 5:16:18 pm
    
    $today = date("F j, Y, g:i a");                 // March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm
    $today = date("m.d.y");                         // 03.10.01
    $today = date("j, n, Y");                       // 10, 3, 2001
    $today = date("Ymd");                           // 20010310
    $today = date('h-i-s, j-m-y, it is w Day z ');  // 05-16-17, 10-03-01, 1631 1618 6 Fripm01
    $today = date('\i\t \i\s \t\h\e jS \d\a\y.');   // It is the 10th day.
    $today = date("D M j G:i:s T Y");               // Sat Mar 10 15:16:08 MST 2001
    $today = date('H:m:s \m \i\s\ \m\o\n\t\h');     // 17:03:17 m is month
    $today = date("H:i:s");                         // 17:16:17
    ?>
