Re: [PHP] Issue with STRFTIME and Daylight Savings
Hi Rob: Thanks for the feedback. Just to throw one in from left field, the script is written in AWK, not PHP (told you I was a novice!) Have confirmed that 'systime' refers to hardware clock, so I have a quick and dirty work-around by adding '3600' (seconds) to STRFTIME, but will look into a cleaner solution. Thanks Regards, Malcolm.
