PHP date formatting issue

This PHP statement date('Y-m-d',1281394800) returns different values in different servers. One gives me 2010-08-09 and the other 2010-08-10. Could s开发者_开发技巧omeone please help explain?

Try this and see if you still get different results:

date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
echo date('Y-m-d',1281394800);

If you get exactly the same results across servers, you can set the timezone to the one you want. For more information:

date_default_timezone_set

Are the servers in (or configured with) different timezones?

date()'s output is timezone-dependent.

---

Set the time zone:

date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
echo date('Y-m-d',1281394800);
