i'm simply trying to get the current date in PHP, but it's getting '07:45:23' when it's really 11:02am (the date part of it is correct). i am setting the timezone like this:
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
$now = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
why isn't this working? i also tried 'EDT'. and if it matters, the server is also in the same timezone.
thanks.
Your server's time is likely incorrect. If you have SSH access, running date will show you what the server is set to.
Is the servers time set properly?
