Display local date & time instead of UTC date & time #60

In order for the mailer.php application to work properly and for timestamps to be accurate, there needs to be a conversion done prior to display.

$time = strtotime($dateInUTC.' UTC');
$dateInLocal = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $time);

For now, VolunteerNexus can operate based on Central Time. Please check to see if Daylight Saving Time is supported in the strtotime() function.
