Hello

I am currently using the below php code to display the time and date on my webpages.

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('GMT');
echo date('l d F Y H:i a');
?>

I have just found out this does not allow for daylight saving time, I did find the following on php.net

I (capital i) Whether or not the date is in daylight saving time 1 if Daylight Saving Time, 0 otherwise.

But I could not find an example of how and where to apply this into the code I am using.

Can someone help please

Regards

Webdoc

Use it like this:

<?php
echo date('I');
?>

Hello

In that case would the following be right.

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('GMT');
echo date('I l d F Y H:i a');
?>

and where would the 0 or 1 go?

Regards

Not exactly, I have that same code here: http://agstesting.com/date.php

See it returns '1' because my server is in a timezone that is in DST. In your case, you would use it in a conditional statement, like:

<?php
    if (date('I'))
    {
        // we are in DST
    }
    else
    {
        // we are not in DST
    }
?>
