How to change the default timezone in PHP:
-- I have come across an issue that,
"I have converted GMT timestamp to UNIX timestamp using PHP mktime() and i got correct result in my localhost but when i uploaded that file into site, i got a different answer in my server.
For eg,
$tim = mktime(0,0,0,7,13,2009);
Result in local,
1247443200.
Result in server,
1247423400.
Searched for a while and finally found that the issue was in the timezone used in localhost and site. This is because server may use common timezone."
-- Inorder to set default timezone to the required timezone use, "date_default_timezone_set()".
For eg,
date_default_timezone_set(UTC);
$tim = mktime(0,0,0,7,13,2009);
Result in local,
-- Likewise, to get the default timezone use,"date_default_timezone_get()"
It will result the type of timezone which you have set to your system.
There are lot of timezones available in PHP.
