Time Zone problem

A place to discuss and receive support for the Web Auction application.

Postby Photon » Wed Sep 26, 2007 4:58 am

Hi.

I'm running an auction on a hosted server and all time values displayed are based on the server clock and time zone.
Is there a way to configure a time zone that will override the server's time zone?
Even a partial solution that only modifies the displayed values will do.

For example, if the server is at GMT-5 and my time zone is GMT+1, a closing time of 5:00am should display 11:00am in the browser.

Thanks
Photon

Hi,

You can change the timezone for your entire application by adding some code to the beginning of your index.php file.

If you're using PHP 5 you can use the date_default_timezone_set() function:
http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php

Otherwise you can use putenv:

A list of supported timezones.

There are other ways to override the display of fields in dataface, but I would try one of these methods first.

Thanks, the putenv solution did the trick.

Please advise how to fix display zone area in western Indonesia.
I set the default timezone to Asia/Jakarta but on the web display as WIT (Waktu Indonesia Timur/Eastern Indonesia)
as we know jakarta its location on the Indonesia western
which should be as WIB (Waktu Indonesia Barat) not WIT.
How do i fix it?
Thank you

Thanks -Steve. it works.

@jimmywie WIT: Western Indonesian Time not "Waktu Indonesia Timur", thus you dont have to fix anything co'z its the correct one (bahasa: Waktu Indonesia Barat)
