How to Setting default time zone in apache webserver for php
Sometimes when you using php script, it doesn’t show the correct time. We can easily resolved this problem by setting some string in php.ini script. In Linux, if you installing apache2 and php5 manually, browse to directory /etc/php5/apache2/. you can find php.ini on it. just do some command :
nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
Find string :
;date.timezone =
Edit it to your timezone ( Example in my PC )
date.timezone = “Asia/Makassar”
For your city, just browse to timezone

what OS that u use ? windows ? I’m not sure where php.ini is stored in windows cause it depends on your server that u use . sometimes php.ini store in C://Windows/ or in Apache folder. But make sure if you have change, restart your apache webserver .
