Hi,
let's say that my server time is for some reason incorrect! Is there a php
function that would automaticly correct that time (give or take a few
minutes, hours, days...) so date() function would return real
time/date!!

Thanks,
Ivan

As alternative you can play some with atomic times obtained from
timeservers:

The script below displays the 'real' time obtained from a timeserver and the
servertime on the providers server....

<?php

$server = "time.nist.gov";

$fp = fsockopen($server, 37);

$time = fread($fp, 4);

fclose($fp);

echo "Timestamp timeserver: ".hexdec(bin2hex($time))."<BR><BR>";

echo "Local timestamp on server provider: ".(time() +
2208988800)."<BR><BR>";

echo "Atomic time: ".strftime("%c", hexdec(bin2hex($time)) -
2208988800)."<BR><BR>";

echo "Local time on server provider: ".strftime("%c", time())."<BR><BR>";
?>

Perhaps your server is in a different timezone that you are?
If this is the case, simply adding/substracting the appropriate number of
hours will work as long as daylightsavingtime doesn't change at different
times in your respective zones.
