I have several scripts that send email using PHP's mail() function. I
recently noticed that the time sent displayed inside those messages is
approximately one hour ahead of the actual time. (It's not exactly an
hour. It tends to be within 58-62 minutes ahead.)
Stranger still, the time that is displayed as incorrect is only
_inside_ the message. The time that is displayed for the message as it
appears in my inbox, before the message is opened is correct.
Working with my IT department, we haven't been able to determine what
is setting the incorrect time that is displayed inside the message.
Manually adjusting the time of our mail server (running Windows 2000
SP4) affects the correct time that is displayed in the inbox. But
neither changing the mail server's clock -- nor changing the clock of
the Web server (also running Windows 2000 SP4) -- seems to change the
incorrect time that is displayed inside the message.

Is the mail really sent at once?
The mail may end in a mailque for approx a hour before it's sent, this may
cause the time difference.

I just run this script (with a different address):
<?php mail('h*****@ho tpop.com', 'sub', 'msg body'); ?>
and the mail I received was (except for the line numbering and censoring):

line 5 and line 9 have the same date; line 1 apparently also has the
same date, but without the offset, how can I be sure?
My Mail User-Agent (mutt) is configured to not display dates at all.
Maybe your Mail User-Agent uses dates from different headers in
the inbox view and in the message view.

does your code place a timestamp inside the email? or is this being
inserted by the server itself? You might make sure that your timezone
and timezone offsets are set correctly at the OS level. Is this
Exchange mail or a sendmail application -- I don't use PHP on WNT so I
am not quite sure about it...
Oh!!! how about your Daylight-Savings time setup? is it correct? are you
using GMT or is it set to, say, CST instead of CDT (or whatever) This
would cause it to be ~1 hour ahead - give or take a minute or two for
processing time....
It has to be something with your system. (d'oh!)

Yous systems TZ variable is missing or hosed. Make sure the ID
running the script knows what the TZ is.
If you were in the USEastern timezone for instance, it'd be EST5 or
EST5EDT
It's entirely possible you have:
One TZ set for the ID you usually log in as
One for the ID the script is running under
and One for "root", the ID sendmail uses to do it's thing.

The time on both the Exchange server and the Web server are correct (and
identical). We tried changing both to see if we could change this
incorrect timestamp, and neither had an effect!

changing the time has nothing to do with the timezone and timezone

Timestamps support infinity. However if appears dates do not.
When timestamps are cast to dates, there is no output. Is this an acceptable option or not?
Below are a number of examples showing what I am experiencing.
The last own shows how converting timestamps to dates and then ordering doesn't give you the
order you want. Maybe you should just order by the timestamp to begin with. However
Date does not understand infinity at all.
