Hi,
I'm storing the UTC dates into the DB using:
$utc = gmdate("M d Y h:i:s A");
and then I want to convert the saved UTC date to the client's local time.
How can I do that?
Thanks
A:
date() and localtime() both use the local timezone for the server unless overridden; you can override the timezone used with date_default_timezone_set().

But how do I get the current UTC timestamp?

Why do you need the current UTC timestamp to convert the saved UTC timestamp?

But if you do, `time()` always returns UTC: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.time.php
