Date problem

[Nuker_Viper]

i don't quite understand why it displays this:

Thursday, December 6, 2012 - 3:32 PM - PM12UTCThu, 06 Dec 2012 15:32:27 +0000322012-12-06T15:32:27+00:00pm/4UTC4_20122012Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:32:27 +0000k

here is the basic code...

<?php$TZ = getTZInfo("tz", getMemberInfo("timezone", $membername));$T = getTZInfo("tz_plusminus_hours", getMemberInfo("timezone", $membername));$DST = getMemberInfo("timezone_dst", $membername); if($DST == "On") { $D = "1"; }else { $D = "0"; } $TF = ($T+$D); if($logged_in == "1") { $displaydate = gmdate("l, F j, Y - g:i A - $TZ", time()+(("$TF"+date("I"))*3600)); }elseif($logged_in != "1") { $displaydate = gmdate("l, F j, Y - g:i A - e", time()+((-5+date("I"))*3600)); } ?>

What is $TZ set to? It sounds like has several characters to include all the other stuff.

the current user has it set to America / New York

Are you sure? Are you assuming that's what it is or did you print it to check? It might be a good idea to print the whole date format string you're sending to gmdate. If it's running the first part of the if statement, and $TZ is set to "-5", then "-5" should show up in the output but I don't see it there. If it's set to "America / New York", on the other hand, that would explain the output if you're passing this to gmdate: l, F j, Y - g:i A - America/New York The "A" in America is AM/PM, and I see it printing PM there. "m" is month, and there's a 12 after the PM. You can even see the "/" in the output between lowercase pm and "4".

yea when i took out the $TZ the format works. $TZ is just tell you your current time zone your proflle is set to.. so if i add it at the end of the date info it will appear as just an text output?

Output:

Thursday, December 6, 2012 - 9:19 AM - America/Los_Angeles

ok nvm not perfectly.. time is off it is suppose to -8 and its -2 ??? and the AM / PM thing is wrong... Edited December 6, 2012 by Nuker_Viper
