PHP Date and Computer Date

[afridy]

Hai,

My php script and my computer date are diffrent.
alwas shows one day behined. may be i am in asia and the webserver which has php installed is in the US.

example. My computer shows October 9 now an php prints October 8.

Now how i do tell the php script to show the date and time in my computer ?

Umm that location of the hosting server really matters on date time. You need to work with GMT or you need to set the environment variable to set the local time zone and also you must know the string that is required to set the timezone of a location.

thanks raj, can i set the time zone in my hosting server some ware? can i edit the php ini ? please give some advice. i have hosted in GoDaDDY.

No no. It is not set in ini. You need to set timezone in your running page like this:

$string = "Asia/Katmandu";
putenv("TZ=$string");
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Set this putenv("TZ=$string"); in your each file's top then use your date function get the time.
