The offset is adjusted by comparing the time displayed (using the offset of zero) to the time you want to appear. I live and work in the Eastern Standard Time (EST, same as New York, USA) and EST is the time zone for the sites I usually build. As mentioned in the post above I know it works on at least the one implementation I've used because the time was "set" the that day I wrote the post. This is the code I ended up with this to get EST: <blockquote> <? $mytime = time(); offset=1; $mytime = $mytime + ($offset * 60 * 60); echo $mytime; ?> </blockquote> Good point @rana... the code above is set to the time zone of the server in use.

$mytime = time();

offset=1;
$mytime = $mytime + ($offset * 60 * 60);
echo $mytime;
