[Typo3-dev] BIG problem with timestamp and server at different GMT

[stefano cecere]

ok, i did find the library and applied mu hack.. now it works!!!!

the library is class.t3lib_befunc.php

the hack i did was adding to the
daysUntil(), date(),datetime() function a + 7*3600 (my server is in 
west usa, timezone -7)

just like:

- - - - - - -
	function date($tstamp)	{
		return Date($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['ddmmyy'],$tstamp + 
7*3600);
	}
- - - - - - --

the backend list view now gives me correct time and dates (at least the 
same i did enter as value)

does anybody know of any problem using this hack?
obvioulsy it would be nice to have a global costant , like
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['servertimezone'] = -7

and then fix the time/date functions like:
- - - - - - -
	function date($tstamp)	{
		return Date($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['ddmmyy'],$tstamp - 
3600* $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['servertimezone']);
	}
- - - - - - --
