gmdate
(PHP 3, PHP 4 , PHP 5) gmdate -- Format a GMT/UTC date/time Descriptionstring gmdate ( string format [, int timestamp] )
Identical to the date() function except that
the time returned is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For example, when
run in Finland (GMT +0200), the first line below prints "Jan 01
1998 00:00:00", while the second prints "Dec 31 1997 22:00:00".
Example 1. gmdate() example
<?php
echo date("M d Y H:i:s", mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1998));
echo gmdate("M d Y H:i:s", mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1998));
?>

Note:
In the Microsoft Windows series of Operating Systems the system
libraries implementing this function are broken, so
gmdate() does not support negative values
for the timestamp.
For details see bug reports:
#22620,
#22457,
and #14391.
This problem does not occur in Unix/Linux Operating Systems, as the
system libraries behave as expected.
PHP cannot fix broken system libraries. Contact
your OS vendor for a fix to this and similar problems.
See also date(), mktime(),
gmmktime() and strftime().
