Hello,

I have discovered something strange on my server related to gmt timestamp
handling in php.
When I take a gmt timestamp with:

$gmt_timestamp = gmmktime();
print date("h:i", $gmt_timestamp);

It prints the gmt time correctly (the server is located gmt -6 timezone)

But when I do:

$timearray = getdate($gmt_timestamp);
print_r($timearray);

It gives me the gmt time 12 hours back, for example when the gmt time is
10:30 am, then it gives me 22:30 and also the date of the previous day :-s

Can someone helps me what the possible cause of this can be?

Thanks
Best regards
Joost
