"Comment" errors after nuke integration

Howdy all,

I just integrated Photopost Pro with my PHP-Nuke. Unfortunately, I started pretty early with Photopost Pro before Nuke integration was offered and had to do it manually. After the integration the logins are working fine, but I am getting the following error when any user comment is made to a picture:

function.localtime]: Windows does not support negative values for this function in D:\wwwroot\photopost\pp-inc.php on line 930 />

I am using Photopost Pro 4.8.1 (I'll upgrade when this is fixed)
Win2K3 Server (don't ask, it is a multipurpose box)
IIS 6
MySQL 4.0.24-nt
PHP 4.4.4
PHP-Nuke 7.8

The time of the comment is also 8 hours behind the current time. I tested the PHP time function and it returns the correct time. The server also has the correct time. I logged into Nuke and set the time in the bastardized PHPBB forum to GMT-8 (PST), but that didn't help. The time it is showing is basically GMT-16. The Nuke time locale is also set to en_US which shouldn't really matter since that is display info (I think).

Any idea where the comment time variable is pulled and how I can fix it? I *think* if I fix the time, Windows will no longer see a negative value.

Thanks for any help - Derek

In your Global Settings in Photopost what is entered for GMT there? I just think someone a setting is off. Since I dont have such a way old copy of the program I do not know what that line is to assist. My first suggestion is to upgrade to get rid of more substancial security issues than to remain on that old unsecure version.

Thanks Chuck, you steered me far enough in the right direction. Turns out my GMT offset wasn't updating due to wrong file security settings when I moved servers. I changed it manually and now it is working correctly. The offset number is wrong, but I am sure the GMT offset in PHPBB is also wrong, so I'll play with both of them, but at least the displayed date and time are now correct. It is also saying that users registered in 1900, but I am sure that is a product of how PHPBB is storing reg date info since the Nuke tables are correct.

Thanks again, Derek

Our GMT is only in use for vbulletin and invision. Every other board to my knowledge uses regular server time.
