Date function gives wrong date?

PHP
1

Hey guys! So when I use the date function to give the current date (say it was 11/2/12), it would give the wrong date (11/3/12). I have the default timezone function set to EDT (eastern time?), but it still give the day after it’s supposed to. Does anyone know what’s happening?

Have you tried using

date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');

Or any of the America acceptable timezones
