Sorry Mark and Richard. Here is the real code snipit that includes a hack that seems to work:getaData[x]["time"] if not(theenvironmentisamongtheitems"development,standalone application") then subtract(4*60*60) fromit end if convertit todateitems
Weird copypasta stuff with spaces there.
Mark, in your situation, you and the server are in the same timezone so I would not expect to see a problem. I have no idea where my server is, but it must not be in my timezone. I am guessing on the west coast since taking off 4 hours seems to fix the problem.
That just sounds wrong. If anything, it should be the other way around.
It still does not make any sense why a timezone comes into play at all.
Timezone enters into the picture because if you ask the time, and then convert it to a readable format, you wouldn't expect to see UTC time unless you happened to live in that time zone. You're asking the server "what time is it where you live?" and asking the mac the same thing. The answers may or may not differ. If you want to be able to compare timestamps then "the internet date" will give you UTC time for both.
