MovableBlog: Adjusting the Time with PHP
Nuance 2.0
March 12, 2003
Adjust the time with PHP: this is a neat hack, and it was similar to what I coded for a now-defunct blog of mine with a friend, who was three hours ahead of me on the East Coast. Necessarily, it was much more convoluted (I had a function which turned a date produced my MT into a Unix timestamp, and then...well it was pretty complicated and took me forever). I'm thinking maybe there should be a setting in MT's Author profiles for what time zone the author is from, and then have a tag like <$MTEntryAuthorDate format="etc."$>.
I'll share the code for the way I implemented it soon, but rest assured, the implementation over at scriptygoddess.com is much simpler.
