The reason for the difference is due to the timezone bit (or whatever it's
called..)

Note the +1000 in this line
        time = Thu, 21 Aug 2003 15:28:36 +1000 
and the +0000 in this line
        time = Thu, 21 Aug 2003 05:28:42 +0000
so both are actually the same times (bar a few seconds..)

But for the reason why one is showing GMT and the other Oz time, I don't
know...

HTH though

Subject: [PHP] unexpected date results


Ive got a pretty simple script that runs at 5 past midnight. It grabs the
local date/time and processes data based on the date/time. The problem is
the date/time returned by the date() function is incorrect.

here is a sample script (not actual script running on server):
test.php
<?
$t = time();
echo "\n<br>timestamp = $t";
echo "\n<br>time = " . date("r", $t);
?>

if i run test.php via the web it produces the following output, which is
correct:
timestamp = 1061443716 
time = Thu, 21 Aug 2003 15:28:36 +1000 

if i run test.php via the command line it produces the following output,
which is off by 10 hours:
<br>timestamp = 1061443722
<br>time = Thu, 21 Aug 2003 05:28:42 +0000

has this happened to anyone before? what could cause the huge difference in
time?

Im running PHP Version 4.3.2 on NetBSD 1.6
