Daniel0 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Because your server's clock is running behind or because your server is in another time zone than you are.

ldougherty Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Instead of using this function to set the default timezone in your script, you can also use the INI setting date.timezone to set the default timezone. http://kb.siteground.com/article/How_to_change_the_datetimezone_value_in_PHP.html If your PHP scripts do not show the correct time, the reason is that most probably your hosting server is in a different timezone. This can be easily resolved by changing a setting in PHP called date.timezone. Depending on your location you can set a specific date.timezone value in PHP using the following option which should be added to your local php.ini file: date.timezone = "US/Central" The above example assumes you'd like to set the timezone for your PHP scripts to US/Central. The full list of supported time zones is available here and you should simply replace "US/Central" with the desired timezone.

thebadbad Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 If it goes in your php.ini file it's permanent; if you set it with a function it only applies to the script it's set in.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 If php is running as an Apache Module, you can put php settings into a .htaccess file. If php is running as a CGI application, you can put php settings into a local php.ini. Check with your web host which method is supported.
