$user_tz =" 0.00"; // GMT London



$user_offset = $user_tz * 3600; // Number of hours X number of minutes X number of seconds
//This gets today's date
$timestamp = time();


  $local_timestamp = $timestamp + $user_offset;
//This puts the day, month, and year in seperate variables
 $day = date('d', $local_timestamp) ;
 $month = date('m', $local_timestamp) ;
 $year = date('Y', $local_timestamp) ;


echo $day;
echo $month;
echo $year;

I get the correct date in the day but when it's 12am and it's supposed to change to the 19th of feb, it stays on 18th of february. I have stayed up late just to find out if it works past midnight. One more thing, the server is hosted in the Us and I live in the Uk, is ita problem. Or is there a better way to get different timezones?

You might try to set the timezone from within the script. Take this example:

date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
