i use date function to get day, month and year.
$year = date(y);
$month = date(m);
$day = date(d);
but my hosting is in another place where i am, so i need to add 11 hours. could you tell me how can i do that? thanks

A:
Either do
date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+11 hours'));
to add 11 hours or create a DateTime object and change it's timezone where needed
$datetime = new DateTime; // current time = server time
$otherTZ = new DateTimeZone('America/Los_Angeles');
$datetime->setTimezone($otherTZ); // calculates with new TZ now
or simply set the appropriate timezone with
- date_default_timezone_set — Sets the default timezone used by all date/time functions in a script

@Gordon is date_default_timezone_set also change the value of NOW() function?

@Syom `php --rf now` => `Exception: Function now() does not exist` - are you refering to NOW() in SQL queries? You'd have to change that on the Sql server then, too, e.g. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/time-zone-support.html

You mean Now() as in dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/date-and-time-functions.html ?

A:
you could use http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php to set the timezone to what you want
