Changing the Time Zone Print

  • 1

Our servers have been set up with the Time Zone as Newfoundland Dynamic Time (NDT). You can modify your scripts to use EST or any other timezone you need by the following methods:

1) Using the function "putenv" in php scripts:
==============================================
To convert Time Zone using putenv

echo "Original Time: ". date("h:i:s")."\n";
putenv("TZ=US/Eastern");
echo "New Time: ". date("h:i:s")."\n";
?>
==============================================

2) By putting the following in the .htaccess file in your main public_html folder :

==============================================
# Set to Eastern time zone
SetEnv TZ Canada/Eastern

# Similar command but affects PHP
php_value date.timezone Canada/Eastern
==============================================
