I have to a problem..

 

<?

      echo "Original Time: ". date("h:i:s")."\n";

      putenv("TZ=Asia/kathmandu");

      echo "New Time: ". date("h:i:s a")."\n";

?>

 

 

=> I am testing this in Kathmandu. So this must display...

Original Time: 02:26:22 pm New Time: 02:26:22

 

BUT it is showing ..

 

Original Time: 02:26:17 New Time: 08:41:17 am

 

 

WHY ?? why is it showing wrong time..??

 

Where ever the site is run, i have to display the Nepali time..

read the date() function in the php manual for settign the appropriate timezone in your script

 

YOU CAN SET THE TIMEZONE IN YOUR SCRIPT WITH PHP 5

 

YOU CAN SET THE DEFALT TIMEZINE IN YOUR PHP.INI FILE WITH PHP 4

 

if you dont' have control over your php.ini file (freehosting)

then you have to create a workaround to convert your current timezone time output to the the time that you want

 

for example my timezone is 5 PM now, but my php script is echoing 7PM

i can create a function that will subtract 2 from the current hour date(h) - 1

 

 

there are plenty of user created workarounds for php 4 as well on the comments for php function DATE and TIME

 

-good luck
