Changing GMT to BST

Posted: Sun May 19, 2002 5:51 pm (21 years, 11 months ago)

Hi,

If you were using this PHP code

<html>
<body>
<?php echo gmdate("H i s M d Y");
?>
</body>
</html>

How would you change it so that it displayed the time in BST. I know there is a difference but don't know how to change the code!

Thanks

Try this:

Code:

$time=mktime();
$bst_time=gmdate("H i s M d Y",$time+3600);
echo $bst_time;

I have an example in a book that is used for finding the time for different locales.

It uses the gmdate() function to get the individual bits of info, e.g.

Code:

$day = gmdate("d");
$month= gmdate("m");
etc...

For the hour they add an offset:

Code:

$hour= gmdate("H") + $offset;

They then use this to return the adjusted date/time:

Code:

$time = getdate(mktime($hour, $minutes, $seconds, $month, $day, $year));

Not sure if thats any use to you anyone know a quicker way?
