                                    gmdate

   (PHP 3, PHP 4 )
   gmdate -- Format a GMT/UTC date/time

Description

   string gmdate ( string format [, int timestamp])

   Identical to the date() function except that the time returned is
   Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For example, when run in Finland (GMT
   +0200), the first line below prints "Jan 01 1998 00:00:00", while the
   second prints "Dec 31 1997 22:00:00".

   Example 1. gmdate() example
   <?php
   echo date("M d Y H:i:s", mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1998));
   echo gmdate("M d Y H:i:s", mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1998));
   ?>

     Note: In the Microsoft Windows series of Operating Systems the
     system libraries implementing this function are broken, so gmdate()
     does not support negative values for the timestamp. For details see
     bug reports: #22620, #22457, and #14391.

     This problem does not occur in Unix/Linux Operating Systems, as the
     system libraries behave as expected.

     PHP cannot fix broken system libraries. Contact your OS vendor for
     a fix to this and similar problems.

   See also date(), mktime(), gmmktime() and strftime().
