How to get my local timezone irrespective of my ini file server time zone

[Krishna_ramisetty]

Hello Everyone,

I am on windows server and In my ini file server time zone declared as below

[server_settings]
date.timezone = "Europe/London"

but my application installed on another timezone eg: 'America/Los_Angeles' time zone.

using date_default_timezone_get() i am always getting Europe/London timezone as it's declared in ini file. How to get local timezone(wherever application is installed) here?

Thanks Krish

PHP won't try to guess your timezone. Tell it explicitly what you want with date.timezone.

Like realistically, how often are you moving servers?

PHP is a server-side language, so it only knows the timezone the server is in. As requinix says, you have to tell it what timezone to use. There are a couple different ways to do it - either ask the user or use a JavaScript library and pass the data to the PHP.
