Thanks mmarth. Because of daylight saving in different parts of the world, the time offset may change during the year. So your suggested solution needs manual changing when daylight saving starts and ends.<br />
<br />
Is there a better solution that uses <br />
date_default_timezone_set(<wbr />&quot;America/N<wbr />ew_York&quot;);<wbr /> to convert local time to New York time?
