Any way to designate the time zone in the email reply. I've just got my first form working and I noticed in the auto reply email that the time/date posted is 5 hrs. ahead (GMT maybe ?)

Where is the time being picked up from and can I change it ?

So far, I'm quite happy with your software. I have two forms up and running and plan on many more.

Thanks

That is actually something controlled by your hosting provider. Most of the time you can change this through their hosting control panel.

Thanks Scott.

Should have guessed that. I found that I can change time zone in scripts with an .htaccess file that sets the time zone but that isn't going to work here. Apparently my provider doesn't offer another way to do this. Guess I'll have to live with it.

Thanks again.

I actually had some back and forths with my hosting folks last night. They are saying that their servers (or at least the ones my site are on) are set at EST. The autoreply emails are showing UST/GMT.

Their conclusion is that WebForm Builder is picking up the time somewhere else or doing some kind of conversion. Any ideas ?

Could it be picking up the time from the server or my local PC and converting to GMT maybe ?

Thanks

You could upload this script call it mail.php and check the time given this will show if Form builder is influencing it. I would say not. use your email as to: If you call it ie http://yourdomain/mail.php you will get an email if your provider does not have you in cotton wall.

<?php
$to = "someone@example.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "someonelse@example.com";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
?>

Time came back as EST. Sounds like the hosting folks were correct.

Thanks for the tip
