   I am currently running a website using WP2.8.4 at http://www.smkmethodistsibu.org. The php echo date returned the wrong date although I set the UTC option to +8 hours in the admin area. When I tested php echo date('e') on my header.php, it came up as "America/New_york". Problem is I live in Asia. How do I resolve this problem? My readers are all based in Asia and I do not want them to see the wrong date on my site.

   Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

   If you want to know how I resolved this, I just changed all php echo date() to php echo date_i18n(). All other $strings still work, like php echo date_i18n('e').
