gmmktime
If you want the dutch time on your pages and you are hosted on a server in the USA you can easily change it this way:
<?php
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'nl_NL');
$tgl = gmstrftime("%d %B %Y - %H:%M uur",time()+3600);
?>
Then use $tgl to display the right time.
Note the +3600 is a day light savings time correction.
The result: 22 maart 2005 - 16:39 uur
First I used the normal date function and this was the previous result: March 22, 2005 - 04:28 AM
I needed it for a dutch guestbook.
I'm new to PHP and it took me a while to find it out and maybe it's of no use for experienced PHP programmers but I thought people can always ignore my post :)
gmstrftime
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
gmstrftime — Dar formato a una hora/fecha GMT/UTC de acuerdo a parámetros de la localidad
Descripción
string gmstrftime
( string $formato
[, int $marca_de_tiempo
] )
Se comporta al igual que strftime(), con la excepción de que la hora devuelta es Tiempo Medio de Greenwich (GMT por sus siglas en inglés). Por ejemplo, cuando se ejecuta en Tiempo Estándar del Este (GMT -0500), la primera línea a continuación imprime "Dec 31 1998 20:00:00", mientras que la segunda imprime "Jan 01 1999 01:00:00".
Ejemplos
Example #1 Ejemplo de gmstrftime()
<?php

echo strftime("%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S", mktime(20, 0, 0, 12, 31, 98)) . "\n";
echo gmstrftime("%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S", mktime(20, 0, 0, 12, 31, 98)) . "\n";
?>

gmstrftime() should not be used to generate a RFC 850 date for use in HTTP headers, since its output is affected by setlocale().
Use gmdate instead:
gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT';

HTTP 1.1 (RFC 2068) requires an RFC 1123 date with a four digit year, so the correct format to use for a Last-modified header would look something like this:
<?php
header("Last-modified: " .
gmstrftime("%a, %d %b %Y %T %Z",getlastmod()));
?>

To get a RFC 850 date (used in HTTP) of the current time:
gmstrftime ("%A %d-%b-%y %T %Z", time ());
This will get for example:
Friday 25-Jun-04 03:30:23 GMT
Please note that times in HTTP-headers _must_ be GMT, so use gmstrftime() instead of strftime().
