Which timezone is your Txp admin set to, the Europe or American one?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] upm_datetime: Display current date/time.
Okay, then we make up some PHP for the American clock.
- Find the difference in hours between the server’s time and the timezone you want.
- Create the PHP
- Put it in your page (or form).
As an example, if my server was in GMT-05:00, but I lived in GMT-7:00 and wanted to have the clock reflect where I am, the difference is -2 hours (we take away two hours from -7 to get -5).
$hours = number of hours difference
$format = the string format to use
<txp:php>
$hours = -2;
global $dateformat;
echo safe_strftime($dateformat, time() + ($hours * 3600));
</txp:php>Does that make any sense?
(Edit: updated to supply correct code for any passers-by.)
