smc Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Hello everyone! I'm looking for a way to set it so my time is accurate to my timezone on my website. I have a little bar at the bottom of my emails that read --------------------------------- This message was automatically generated on: 05/12/07 5:04:57 PM However my timezone, for example, would make the time 6:04:57 PM. I am using PHP 4.4.4 so date_default_timezone_set doesn't work. I'd appreciate any ideas you might have to make the time accurate. Thanks!!

karatekid36 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 if you used ADDDATE(date, INTERVAL 1 HOUR) that would add one hour to the current time and that would solve the problem. "date" in this case could be either an entered date or a value you set. In your case, just set it equal to curdate() or something equivalent.

karatekid36 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 you could create a function... This web site explains it enough so that you can catch the drift.

trq Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Try ini_set('date.timezone','your/timezone'), there is a list of valid timezones here. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/51117-setting-timezone/#findComment-251687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
