Wrong time from Emoncms

Submitted by brutzler on Tue, 12/08/2014 - 18:19

Hi,

I am sending data via API-interface (GET http://.......) to emoncms.

Every telegram is answered by:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 18:15:19 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.9 (Win64) PHP/5.5.12
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.12
Content-Length: 2
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/json

But the time coming back from emoncms is wrong. There is a difference from 2 hours.

The computer, emoncms is running on, has the right system time.
Is there some different possibility to adjust time-zone??

You should have a look and update the PHP timezone. There is an explanation about this on the Emoncms wiki.

Edit: link addition http://emoncms.org/site/docs/installlinux in the last chapter "Configure PHP Timezone"

OK this is already in my php.ini:

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = Europe/Paris

Think this is ok for me (Germany)

I have seen, that I get back a GMT-Time. Knowing, that there are 2 hours difference between, the time is basicly right. But looking at the GMT-timestamp it's always a little bit confusing.

You are right the PHP timezone seems to be correct. But I read again your first message. You have 2 hours of difference from GMT and by your location your are at GMT+2. It seems to be ok!

In France, I use this Excel formula to convert the timestamp:

=((((cellvalue/1000)/60)/60)/24)+DATE(1970;1;1)+(2/24)

With this formula I get the right time. So it should be the same for you.
