Do a search on TimeZone in the archives. I just asked this question last week and got much help.

Hello,
I seem to be having some problems with timestamps on our Wiki.
When on the Unix machine which serves our Wiki, if I run the "date" command, it displays the correct date and time. When I create a sample PHP file to echo the date (echo "The time is : " . date("H:i:sa");) it shows the correct time. When I make an edit in our Wiki, the dates are 4 hours ahead of time. I made an edit at 10:03am and on the recent changes page it says I made that change at 14:03.
I am having a similar problem with my Wordpress blog except the weird thing is that they're not off by the same amount. In fact, the blog has timestamps of 1 hour earlier as opposed to the 4 hours later that the Wiki is saying.
Where could I be having my problem with the Wiki? Does PHP rely on the underlying system's date command or do I need to configure something? Like I said, it seems to be correct when I echo date("H:i:sa") in PHP.
Thanks, ~Eric
