[Solved]: ecard timezone way off
« on: July 24, 2004, 02:36:10 am »
When I send an ecard, it says I sent an ecard on "Saturday, July,30,2004 12:31 AM [GMT]" when i really sent it today, July 23, 2004 5:31 PM [PDT]

Is there a way to change this to be accurate?

Thanks!

The next version will include the ability to set the local timezone.  You can hard code it, but I'd just wait.  And technically, the time is accurate.  GMT-7 = PDT.   ;)

Can't wait for the next release ;)

But GMT-7? That's minus 7 hours, not days too is it? I sent it on the 23rd (5:31PM PST), the ecard said the 30th (12:31AM GMT)  ???  :)

Post a link to your site - I'd like to send an ecard and see what time shows up.  Please create a normal user account and post the login/pass here.

Also, are you sending email via php or smtp?  The mail server's time could be off.

I modified the mailer.inc.php file to point to the server I wanted mail routed through. The server time on that mail server is correct.
Please let me know when I can delete the account.
Thanks for looking into this!

I can see what is wrong - the date stamp is using %V, which is the week number of the year eg 1 to 53. Change it to %d.


[fixed in stable (ecard.php v1.9), devel will use GMT offset so not affected by this]

Now just awaiting the next release to change the timezone.
Thanks! I have delete the test account.

For reference, I modified this line in the ecard.php file:

$message .= "Sent by $sender_name from IP {$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']} at ".gmstrftime("%A,  %B,%d,%Y %I:%M %p ", time())." [GMT]";
                                                                                                                                                    |
                                                                                                                                                    this was %V
