gmdate
(PHP 3, PHP 4 )
gmdate -- Format a GMT/UTC date/time
Description
string gmdate ( string format [, int timestamp])
Identical to the date() function except that the time returned
is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For example, when run in Finland
(GMT +0200), the first line below prints "Jan 01 1998
00:00:00", while the second prints "Dec 31 1997
22:00:00". Example 1. gmdate() example
<?php
echo date("M d Y H:i:s", mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1,
1998));
echo gmdate("M d Y H:i:s", mktime(0, 0, 0, 1,
1, 1998));
?>
Note: In the Microsoft Windows series of Operating Systems
the system libraries implementing this function are broken,
so gmdate() does not support negative values for the timestamp.
For details see bug reports: #22620, #22457, and #14391.
This problem does not occur in Unix/Linux Operating Systems,
as the system libraries behave as expected.
PHP cannot fix broken system libraries. Contact your OS
vendor for a fix to this and similar problems.
