Thx

Can you use the system() or exec() function on your box? If so, you might
be able to have it open a quick shell and set the time...

Worked it out...
This would work

<?php
$strDate = date("m-d-y");
$strTime = date("G:i:s");

system ("date $strDate");
system ("time $strTime");
?>

that would do nothing, as it's justing setting to the date as it is anyway

thanks for your input

Yes, of course. Have a look at the optional second parameter of the
date() function.
