The fact is that for historical reasons all timezones are based off GMT (or UTC). Thus any kind of 'portable' timekeeping will have to be based off UTC. For instance the mail that you're reading will have it's Date: header expressed with reference to UTC. In short having functions that help convert local time to and from UTC is a good thing. Don't kid yourself into thinking that gmmktime() is there for UK users' sake :-) > I know reposting like this is wrong but I was just trying to make a point. Which is? In most cases reposting at such a short time interval will only annoy a lot people. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* The probability of an auto lockout varies directly with the intensity of the rain -- Murphy's Laws of Locksmithing n11 */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
