PHP: its 20 minutes past midnight, and somehow when updating the php date does not change. Why did the php god get mad at me?

As I said, its 20 minutes past midnight, and when I check the date using php

as a date ("Ymd"); and date ("Ymd", strtotime ("now"));

I still get the date of previous days. I expected that during coding there will be many errors, but definitely not that. I would not even have it on the list of potential things that could go wrong. I reviewed the browser using SHIFT + update, and also went into system restart mode.

Something went wrong?

Are you sure you got the right time? That is, print additional information:

echo date("c")

This will give you everything, date, time, time zone, etc.

You can set the time zone you want to use with date_default_timezone_set . Here you can find a list of valid time zones .

You can also set the time zone in your php.ini configuration by setting the date.timezone directive .

Are you sure the server is running in the same time zone that you expect?

Try also to print the actual time and see what this tells you.

Is the time zone on the server set correctly? What about timezone for PHP ?

Does the date not change with subsequent updates, or the date did not change at midnight (from 2009-09-06 to 2009-09-07 )?

yup, all of you people are right. It was a time zone issue. changed it by adding the uncommentation of the date.timezone property to php.ini and adding the required time zone as described in http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php . Thanks guys
