the obvious thing is that the server is most likely on a different time zone as you so for the server that is still the date.

Alternatively check that the time and date on the server itself is correct.

can you give us an example of the output of the code and then the current time where you are.

i will be able to help then

One way to fix this is to add/subtract the difference in seconds from the system time:

3600 = 1 hour
86400 = 1 day
<?php
echo date("l, d F Y",time()-3600);
?>
