   I need a snippet of code to display the current time of my location as in 12:01 PM EST. I want to put it in the header of my site next to the search box. I already have the date...also the time but can't get it to show local..only UTC

   Can you use the date('g:i A e') function?

   This is what I have now:

   <?php print(date ('g:i A T')); ?>

   and this is what it shows ast 12:34 PM EST

   4:34 PM UTC

   When I used your snippit it showed

   5:28 PM UTC

   at te bottom of that page was something about setting timezone, a novice guess from me?

   <?php
   date_default_timezone_set('EST');
   
   echo date('g:i A'); ?>

   Actually, you can set the Timezone in Admin->Settings->General so you don't have to code it in the php.
