I am using the token %date to put the date and time into the confirmation email which is returned to the user. However if I submit at say 10.30am (GMT, winter) it displays as 11.30am. If I look at the listing of submissions when reported from the database it shows the same problem.

It looks like a timezone/summer time problem, but it's not summer at present.

(In fact I don't really want the time, the date would be sufficient. Is there a way to display the date without the time in the email?)

Regards, Tony.

This is the line of code that forms the %date token:

    $replacements['safe']['%date'] = format_date(time(), 'large');

time() is always in GMT (no timezone support). The format_date() function will adjust the time according to whatever settings you have configured at admin/settings/date-time. That will affect the time site-wide (all of which is probably an hour off).

You are right, it is more general than Webform, but is inconsistent across the site. Also, this is a test copy of my main site, which is working correctly. All very odd.

Closing after lack of activity. I'm not sure there is anything to be done on the Webform side here.
