TimeZone

[j9sjam3]

Strict Standards: DateTime::__construct() [datetime.--construct]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/Chicago' for 'CDT/-5.0/DST' instead in /home/elliottw/public_html/login/inc/conn.inc.php on line 45

 

And the code I am using is:

$timezone = new DateTimeZone("Europe/London");
$date = new DateTime();
$date->setTimezone($timezone);
$dateTime = $date->format('H:i:s d/m/Y'); 
$sqlDateTime = $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

 

I've come to the end of my tether. I can't see anything wrong with this, searched Google and I'm starting to go crazy (partly due to the Caffeine and staring at code for 4 hours).

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers.

Maybe try passing the timezone in the constructor for DateTime()?

As btherl says.

 

$date = new DateTime(null,new DateTimeZone("Europe/London"));
$date->setTimezone($timezone);
$dateTime = $date->format('H:i:s d/m/Y'); 
$sqlDateTime = $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
