>>If you wish to change the values being returned from the computer with date() and time(), you can do it with a batch file which calls the DOS date and time commands. These will re-set the computer's values until you re-boot. AFAIK if you want to change the values permanently you will have to use the computer's own setup command when booting.

Vlad,

If the computer is attached to a network, the computers date and time reverts to the networks system date and time when logging in.
