I need to save a date in my website, (using PHP+MySQL)… problem is that the server is set to -10hours from my time zone (i’m at CET), and i can’t change the time on the server (it’s a shared hosting from godaddy).

code i’m using to get date+time is: $newDate = date(“d-m-Y, H:i”);

any help to how i change save the day and time according to my time zone is extremely appreciated.

Regards,

Matt
