Hey!

I was wondering..
Is it possible to chnage the server time for my website? Or is it the same time for all servers?

Thanks //Feelay

I guess that the server time is the local time for the city where the server is physically located.
Of course, like in my forum, the time seen by the user is the user's PC local time.

oh? what code can I use to do that (php please:P)? because my site is showing the time like "06:02:19" when it is "15:21"

if you're using PHP and if the server supports PHP5, you can always set the the timezone and as I know you even can get an error if you're using date functions and didn't set it, here is the function: http://www.php.net/date_default_timezone_set

on PHP4 you couldn't do that, instead it was using the server time, but that was easy to avoid, when you know where the server is or even you don't know, you can just get the server time see at your clock on your hand or in the computer and just add or minus the hours needed, I mean change the GMT to + or - something..

I personally use .htaccess that I wouldn't need to do it in all the PHP stuff everytime, like this:



So you can change whatever you want or the settings you live in, for example this cooridantes are the place I live in ~1km radius

Just put the .htaccess file in your root directory, before public_html if you want it to work everywhere..

By the way, from a semantic point of view as well as from a generalized relativity theory point of view...
Doing this you are not changing the astahost computer server time, you are changing the way the connected users see the system clock.

I know But, I have "last login" on my website, and I am going to add a clock. And why would a user in The USA know how much the clock is here in sweden ?

I think that this is exactly what the astahost forum precisely does : I see that your previous post is dated five minutes ago, in terms of my local time. And probably, your local time is not mine, and is not astahost's city time.

Well.. atm, it is 18:25 here, but the forums time is 18:35 xD
But I understand what you mean
