2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex18/rssdisplaybox/index.htm

3) Describe problem: I'd like to learn how to adjust the time zone setting to EST. It's currently reporting my host's server time CMT. Can't seem to grasp the code on this one. :confused: Many thanks in advance. :)

The date output is controlled by the SimplePie backend script used by the script. Try looking up the documentation (http://simplepie.org/wiki/reference/start) concerning date output for it, though note that the version used by the script is older than that which is currently listed on the site.

Sorry to bring up an old post, but I had a similar problem with this script and found the fix. Newer versions of PHP will give you a timezone error.

To fix, you just open up /rssbox/main.php and add the following line to the top:


<?php
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
?>

If you need a list of Timezones in PHP, you can find it here (http://us.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php).
