time is incorrect

[coldal]

I use the excellent formmail script but notice the email it produces shows the time as 1 hour behind real time. My hosting company says it will be a setting in the script - is this the case?

The time is usually taken from the server. For instance, if you were to run a simple script called time.php, you will see what time that the server is set with, and then you can determine if your time issue is yours or the server's:

time.php

<?php
     echo 'Server time equals  :   '. date("l, jS F Y, H:i");
?>

Remember that the server may be in a different time zone. USA where I live has 4 time zones just for the continental USA. If you want the client side time, you will need to use javascript in your form, and send it to formmail as a hidden field.

I am wondering if this would be solved by putting something like this in the formmail.php:

putenv('TZ=Australia/Melbourne');
