What version of PHP, and what OS? As far as I am concerned, dealing
with timezones on PHP4 and Windows is just too much trouble - the
timezones need to be in a windows specific format (
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22418
) rather than the common TZ format.
If you have PHP5, just use date_default_timezone_set and
date_default_timezone_get. If you have PHP4, try these in your app/
config/bootstrap.php:
if ( !function_exists('date_default_timezone_get') ){
// PHP < 5.1
function date_default_timezone_get()
{
$env_tz = env("TZ");
if ( !empty($env_tz) ){
return $env_tz;
}
return false;
}
}
if ( !function_exists('date_default_timezone_set') ){
// PHP < 5.1
function date_default_timezone_set( $zone )
{
// standard timezone format only actually works on linux, not
windows
if ( strpos(strtolower(env('OS')), 'win') !== false ){
// running on windows
return false;
}
putenv ('TZ='.$zone );
}
}
