One possibility (which may be overkill for you; you decide) would be to change the "date.timezone" value in php.ini to name EST5EDT rather than the default UTC [Date] ; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions ; http://php.net/date.timezone date.timezone = EST5EDT ; override UTC default From there, you can use the php date functions, and they will reflect EST5EDT dates and times HTH -- Lew Pitcher "In Skills, We Trust"
