print(date("M j Y g:i:s T"));
This prints out:
Jan 2 2009 6:27:09 CST
Which I believe is controlled by the Server.
However, I want to display time by Indiana East (as I am the owner of the website)
Checking my personal clock on my desktop it reads this for the timezone:
(GMT -05:00) Indiana (East)
I know that I will end up having to make a new function, but how would I go about doing that. I'm pretty good with PHP, just not with the PHP date, time functions

echo "Old Time: ". date("h:i:s")."\n";
putenv("TZ= Europe/Oslo");
echo "New Time: ". date("h:i:s")."\n";
Think that will make the fix your you! :)
Offcourse update the timezone with your zone... This was just an example..

Try this:
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.date-timezone-set.php
I'd set it for a zone in the US like CA, and use an offset to change it to the one you need.

You can also use the mktime() function to set the time back by 5 hours if you wish to do it that way.

You can also use the mktime() function to set the time back by 5 hours if you wish to do it that way.
date("M j Y g:i:s T",mktime()-60*60*5); // 5 hours back in server time

also, is there anyway to display if it was set AM or PM?

nvm looked in the PHP manual :) got it thanks guys! I should be good from here!

sorry for double post...
but this is what worked for me.
<?
echo "Server Time: ". date(" h:i:s a\, m/d/Y") ."<br />";
echo "Indiana Time: ". date(" h:i:s a\, m/d/Y",mktime()+60*60*1) ."<br />";
?>
Basically the server time (CST) is an hour behind me (I'm in the weird part of Indiana that has Daylight Savings Time every 10 minutes)
So it works for now, I will keep any eye on it though :P
