Hey all!
I have my server set to central time, and also EE is set to central time.
DST = “no”. Do you have any idea what may account for the following discrepancy?
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s") . " server time \r\n";
echo "{current_time format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s"} EE time \r\n";Displays the following:
2008-09-05 16:11:40 server time (From PHP)
2008-09-05 14:11:39 EE time (From current_time)

Which one is right?

The server time that i get with the php code is right.
Also, an update…. I changed my admin account’s timezone to central time also, and the EE time moved forward one hour, but there is still an hour discrepancy.
2008-09-05 17:37:25 | server time with php date() <—- correct
2008-09-05 16:37:25 | EE time with {current_time} <—- one hour behind.
Server Time is set to central, EE is set to central, My account is set to central, DST is off.

Hm- DST for your personal localization is also set to ‘No’?
