Do a forum search on 'time timezone' without the quotes

thanks raven but i am having no luck, i've tried changing this code already

· How do I adjust the server time for News articles?

In mainfile.php, find the function formatTimestamp(). Assuming it resembles this code

function formatTimestamp($time) {
global $datetime, $locale;
setlocale (LC_TIME, $locale);
ereg ("([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{1,2}) ([0-9]{1,2}) Sad

[0-9]{1,2}) Sad

[0-9]{1,2})", $time, $datetime);
$datetime = strftime(""._DATESTRING."", mktime($datetime[4],$datetime[5],$datetime[6],$datetime[2],$datetime[3],$datetime[1]));
$datetime = ucfirst($datetime);
return($datetime);
}

Modify it to this. Note the -15? That is the number of hours to offset the timestamp.

function formatTimestamp($time) {
global $datetime, $locale;
setlocale (LC_TIME, $locale);
ereg ("([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{1,2}) ([0-9]{1,2}) Sad

[0-9]{1,2}) Sad

[0-9]{1,2})", $time, $datetime);
$datetime = strftime(""._DATESTRING."", mktime(($datetime[4]-15),$datetime[5],$datetime[6],$datetime[2],$datetime[3],$datetime[1]));
$datetime = ucfirst($datetime);
return($datetime);
}

i did that, but it didnt change the time.. any suggestion??
