Re: how to set current time for local computer

I had the same issue a week a go, my server is located on GMT -6 and
my country is on GMT -5
The function takes the GMT from Server within the timestamp

/* @param integer $time server timestamp (time()) or whatever
timestamp
* @param integer $userGMT this is the GMT you want convert to
* @return timestamp calculated
*/

//I put this function on app_controller
function gmtConvert($time, $userGMT) {
//Gets server GMT (-5, -4 0, 5, 6 etc.)
$serverGMT = ((int)date('O', $time))/100;
//Calculates the difference between server and user's GMT
$difference = $userGMT - $serverGMT;
//Calculates the new timestamp
$newtime = $time + ($difference * (60 * 60));
return $newtime;
}

//This is how to use
//gmtConvert(server timestamp, your GMT);
$this->gmtConvert(time(), -5);

Hope this help!
