How do I set the timezone?

[EsquireX]

Hello all,

I have done a search here on "locale" and but couldn't make heads not tails of it. I can't find how to set the timezone to PST.

I saw 3 different ways to change it but I'm confused on the syntax and where to put it.

• $config['locale'] = 'en_US';
• setlocale()
• date_default_timezone_set()

I tried a few things but kept getting error messages so I thought I'd ask here.

I know this is a really old post BUT did anyone find a way to over ride the time zone?

My server is based in Texas and my clients are all in New Zealand. I need a way to globally add 18 hours (I think) to any time or date settings in CMSMS.

This is quite easy actually.

Open your .htaccess file and add the following line:
SetEnv TZ location

where location is the specific timezone you want to define.

A list of Supported Timezones can be found here:

hope this helps

thanks - I thought I knew about .htaccess files but that one had slipped past me.

If I'd known it was that easy .....
