Ok, I have to have a code on my site that gets the time off of my server. My server is located elsewhere and i have no control over it. However the system time for the server is a few minutes fast, which is quite important. I would like to know how to change my code to get the system date and then take two minutes off.. I have done this already however my real problem is when it goes to on the hour or a minute past and therefore it'll say -2 minutes. Can somebody please help, here is my code.
