PHP date function - removing time

Hi,

I'm using the date function to return the date into a news page I'm making (nothing big, just some feeds I like that I'm still working on - http://chris.clook.net/news/syn.php ), and the time on the server is five hours ahead of my local time. Here's the code I've used for the time http://chris.clook.net/news/syn.php.txt - what can I use to take five hours off? I tried many things with the letter Z (from the PHP manual) subtracting 18000 seconds (five hours), but I haven't gotten anything to work. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks, Chris

Here you are:

date("M-d-Y H:i:s", mktime(date("G")-5, date("i"), date("s"), date("m"), date("d"), date("Y")));

The mktime function do exactly what you need whenever you want to change time and date.
