How can I change the timezone that PHP is using?

You can change the timezone that PHP is using by using a custom php.ini file. More details on custom php.ini files can be found here:

How can I change PHP settings?

Here is the setting you will want to use:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">date.timezone = "TIMEZONE"</syntaxhighlight>

(replacing TIMEZONE with your desired timezone)

Here is an example of a properly configured setting:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">date.timezone = "America/Detroit"</syntaxhighlight>

You can find your timezone at the PHP website:
