Date changes early!

I have been noticing that the day changes about 3 hours before the day is suppose to change. I noticed that for example yesterday was the 24th of December, and at 9:00 pm the date changed over to the 25th of December. I thought it might have something to do with the time zone setting that I had, being that I had the time zone set to a GMT + 3, so I changed the Time Zone to a GMT 0 setting, but it is still doing it. No matter what time zone I select, it still changes about 3 hours early.

Can anybody give a helpful suggestion on how to fix this problem. Thanks again for your time.

Fixed it myself...

Since I wasn't getting any replies and getting sick of waiting, I went old school and read the code for myself. Anyways, it seems that on a windows system, the time zone setting is pointless because the calendar is just reading your system clock, and you should already have your time zone set there.

I had the time zone setting set to GMT + 3 and the date was changing 3 hours early, and I even tried changing my time zone back to GMT 0 but it was still doing it, not sure if there is a bug in the time zone setting.

Anyways, I went into calendar.php and edited the get_date() function as follows, on the last line of the function where is says $time+$timezone, I just erased the +$timezone part of it and it works like a charm.

function get_date($format,$time=0){
$timezone = $this->a_template['timezone'];
if(!$time)$time=time();
if(!$timezone) $timezone=date('Z');
else $timezone = $timezone*3600;
return date($format,$time+$timezone);
}

change to this:

function get_date($format,$time=0){
$timezone = $this->a_template['timezone'];
if(!$time)$time=time();
if(!$timezone) $timezone=date('Z');
else $timezone = $timezone*3600;
return date($format,$time);
}

Anyways, that might help some people, or other people were probably already smart enough to figure that one out.
