Php Date() Problem [resolved] - date() seems to loop same ninute.

My setup is a macbook pro and I have apache+ mysql + php already included I think.

the php is version 4.4.4

I have been using the date() to store dates into my mysql tables in the past and it worked corectly. I dont know what could of happen but now the date() function is returning an incorrect time.

I made a test script test.php

CODE
<?php

$date_time = date('y-m-d H:m:s');
echo($date_time);

?>


and loaded it up. My laptops system time would be 1.35.33 PM

and the date and time returned from php would be 07-06-28 13:06:56

I would hit refresh on the browser but it would still loop in that same minute
e.g.
QUOTE
07-06-28 13:06:56
07-06-28 13:06:57
07-06-28 13:06:58
07-06-28 13:06:59
07-06-28 13:06:00
07-06-28 13:06:01

.........

Any ideas on how I could fix this problem? would I just be better too to upgrade to lastest version of php and hopefully it will not have that problem.

It seems like your PHP.ini isn't set to the correct timezone? It's about 30 minutes off.

Open PHP.ini and search
QUOTE
[Date][br];Defines the default timezone used by the date functions[/br]
;date.timezone =


and set to the correct timezone. And see if it matches up. Don't forget to remove ";" to be active.

And just in case you were wondering, 13:00 is 1pm in military or 24 hour style. Just pick another time variable to show it as 1:00

I think XAMPP is available as a one-click installer for Apache, Mysql and php for OSX. search:XAMPP for the download page and to check whether it will run on your machine.
