Date Created: Can we adjust for Central Daylight Savings time?

    In the admin panel when viewing entries, is there a way for the form to let me know the exact time the form was submitted? It is currently one hour off. The previous form I used (version 1) was about 2 hours off. Is there a way for this time to auto-correct for Chicago time and to correct itself for CDS (Central Daylight Savings Time)?

    There's no setting I can see in Machform to set time zones or allow for DLS etc and no extra columns or information in Entries Manager other than those already available.

    You can perhaps adjust your time-zone setting in php.ini (or .htaccess file) but that depends on your host if you can change those settings.

    For changing php.ini, follow this or similar: http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/php/setting-the-timezone-for-php-in-the-phpini-file

    For changing in .htaccess http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/htaccess/htacess-change-timezone

    I think the 'timestamp' is the web-server time, not the local time of the user submitting the form (or even your local time, if you're in different time zone to the web server).
