My Webpage If you check here in my site in my Login block called "user info" at the bottom it tells u the "server time". Well that server time for me is wrong. This is what is displayed QUOTE Server Time · Time 14:06:53 · Date 19 Feb 2006 · Timezone +0000 The Date is right but the Timezone and Time are just way off. My Timezone should be -500. What do i have to do to fix this? Is it in my cpanel or do i have to go edit this block itself??

The time on your page is displaying the time received straight from the server's time (most probably by using the php date function). If you were to fine tune this, lets say forward or backwards an hour, then the timezone should theoretically add the difference between your time and the time of this server (which is actually in Grenwich Mean Time (GMT - British Time.)). p.s. If you need another time code that allows you to fine tune the time, just reply. But the reasons explained above are what's happening to your site. Hope this helps :-) This post has been edited by sportytalk: Feb 19 2006, 04:45 PM

Just a quick note. The British time is based on UTC, not GMT. On 1 January 1972, GMT was replaced as the international time reference by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). That's over 30 years ago.

Hmm, not entirely true. Although UTC has superceded GMT, the term GMT is still commonly used in reference to timezones (ie. GMT+x). Anyway, this error is purely related to the PHP script being used, and has nothing to do with cPanel (I've got no idea where you're headed with that one...) In order to display the difference to GMT, simply call the date() function including 'O' in the format string, which will display the GMT difference in hours. For example: CODE echo 'Timezone: ' . date('O');

hehe, I believe both GMT and UTC are acceptable today  Whilst we are on the subject of server time, does anyone know the timezone of the Cron System (in relation to GMT [GMT +x])? Was trying to have a task carried out at 7pm GMT, but it happens at 3am or something like that. I thought it was 8 hours ahead, but the timezone doesn't seem to be consistent.
