The time is wrong on my emails sent by php sendmail script?

Question

I am sending emails using the php sendmail script. The problem is, the server is on a different timezone than I am and the emails appear to have been send 5 hours before. Is there a way to change the time sent on email in php? I am using php on a Windows platform - v5.0

Answer 1

Add the datetime you want to use as an additional header.




date_default_timezone_set( "America/New_York" );

$now = new DateTime();



$to = "[e-mail]";

$header = "From: [e-mail]\r\nDate: " . date_format($now, 'r');

$subject = "foobar";

$body = "hello world";



mail( $to, $subject, $body, $header );

?>

Answer 2

Version 5 of PHP is not an "older" version, it's still actually pretty new, as v6 is not in widespread use yet.



Other than that, I can only suggest that you look into mail headers. There are options for time/date there.

Answer 3

I found a site good for programmers to ask questions. There are some experienced programmers there, so you can get help there. It's free by the way.

Answer 4

if you look at source #1, it will have the syntax for the mail(); function. Date looks like it should be in the additional headers section. Try looking into that.

Answer 5

I think its belong to the time of your server
