    Set Date?

    Can you tell PHP to set the date on your machine?

    Windows 2000 Pro
    Apache 1.3 & PHP 4

    Thx

    Can you use the system() or exec() function on your box? If so, you might
    be able to have it open a quick shell and set the time...

      Worked it out...
      This would work

      <?php
      $strDate = date("m-d-y");
      $strTime = date("G:i:s");

      system ("date $strDate");
      system ("time $strTime");
      ?>

      that would do nothing, as it's justing setting to the date as it is anyway

      thanks for your input

        Yes, of course. Have a look at the optional second parameter of the
        date() function.
