why does the PHP date() in my offline WAMP different from my system time? how can i sync it?
You should set the default timezone. You can do this in php.ini, just add the following line:
date.timezone ="Europe/Stockholm"
You should obviously change Europe/Stockholm to your timezone. If you don't have access to php.ini, you can use date_default_timezone_set and pass your timezone as a parameter, like:
date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Stockholm");
Here is a list of supported timezones.

How to adjust/change the server to use my region's time zone.I'm using Wordpress and i have no access to the php.ini
I think you are looking for: date_default_timezone_set ( string $timezone_identifier )
You can also set this in your php.ini config.
[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = Europe/Berlin
You can change it in your php.ini file by changing the value of date.timezone
date.timezone = Asia/Kuwait
This link explains how to do so.
Use this reference :
http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
Good luck.
use below code to set your default time zone set.
paste this code in index.php file
<?php date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata'); ?>
set your timezone using wp-admin dashboard.
General Settings->Timezone
I am in Kuala Lumpur, but when I print current time zone in php it is showing:
Europe/Berlin
echo date_default_timezone_get();
isn't it supposed to show Asia/Kuala_Lumpur?
I am using localhost
Can you check your php.ini file, there is an option to configure your timezone.
date.timezone=[Set your Value]
You can get the timezone values you can configure on the link below:
http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
For your case it should be: Asia/Kuala_Lumpur
date_default_timezone_get returns the default timezone by:
Reading the timezone set using the date_default_timezone_set()
function (if any)
If PHP >= 5.4.0: Reading the TZ environment variable (if non empty).
Reading the value of the date.timezone ini option (if set)
Manual:
Prior to PHP 5.4.0 only: Querying the host operating system (if
supported and allowed by the OS). This uses an algorithm that has to
guess the timezone. This is by no means going to work correctly for
every situation. A warning is shown when this stage is reached. Do not
rely on it to be guessed correctly, and set date.timezone to the
correct timezone instead.
i recenty try to find time zone setting in local host and work fine via edit php.ini in apache server local host.
[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = Asia/Karachi
and geting stuck and i try to find solution for change time zone in domain. but did not get any answer
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Karachi');
I'm testing out making an entry system but the problem is, my host's timezone is different from where I live. It's 3am on my server while on my local computer, the time is 4pm. How do I automatically adjust code that I pull from the database to be displayed as a timezone similar to where I'm at?
You can set the default timezone using the function date_default_timezone_set(). It sets the default timezone used by all date/time functions in a script.
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
Have a look at this page:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php
You can find a list of timezones here
http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
Alternatively you could change the php.ini file if you have the permissions for it. You could change the option date.timezone to your timezone like this:
date.timezone = "US/Central"

on shell, my server time is (simple date in bash):
Sun Aug 29 10:37:12 EDT 2010
when I run the code php -r "echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');" I get: 2010-08-29 10:37:10
but when I execute a php script that has echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); I get a different time- since php thinks the timezone is UTC (server time is EDT).
My php.ini file has no timezone set, and I wouldnt like to change anything- as I have no idea what affect it would have on other sites that run on this server.
Is there a simple way to get the server time- at the timezone that is set for the server?
According to the php.ini directives manual page, the timezone isn't set by default if you're using a version prior to 5.3. Then if you take a look at the page for date_default_timezone_get, it uses the following order for getting the timezone:
* Reading the timezone set using the date_default_timezone_set() function (if any)
* Reading the TZ environment variable (if non empty) (Prior to PHP 5.3.0)
* Reading the value of the date.timezone ini option (if set)
* Querying the host operating system (if supported and allowed by the OS)
UTC is the default if all of those fail, so that's probably a good starting point.
The server should always have a timezone specified in the php.ini file. PHP 5.3 even raises notices if that's not the case and the DateTime extension will throw exceptions if you attempt to build objects without explicitly specifying a timezone (with a DateTimezone object) or having a default one (either through date.timezone or date_default_timezone_set).
By what you're describing, the most likely scenarios are:
Different php.ini files are being used in the two scenarios. In the first case, no default timezone is specified, so PHP attempts to infer one from the system-wide timezone of the machine.
The (second) script calls date_default_timezone_set('UTC') or equivalent.
Late for the party, but if you want to set the timezone without edit php.ini, you can put in the php code one of these strings:
date_default_timezone_set('GMT');
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Zurich');
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
Have you tried using date_default_timezone_set()
