hi,
I am having trouble with the following SQL insert

 $createtbl  =  "CREATE TABLE $table (";
 $createtbl .= "UTCTime timestamptz,";
 $createtbl .= "error text,";
 $createtbl .= "lowalarm bigint,";
 $createtbl .=  "highalarm bigint";
 $createtbl .= "$points";
 $createtbl .=  ") ";

When i insert data into the timestamptz field it is  automatically adding on
the time zone of MST which is not correct. The data that is being inserted
is not MST it is GMT. how do i make it insert as GMT.

note: it keeps the date and times the same, but it just adds the -07 to the
end of the timestamp. when it should accually just be adding -00 to the end
so that it stays in GMT format.

??? Do i need to do a SET timezone under psql on the database ???
