Date_default_timezone_set () sets the time zone

You can have time zone set for India as 'Asia/Kolkata 'This will add + 5.30 to GMT time.
You will get proper time of your time zone.
Example:


<? PHP $ timezone = "Asia/Calcutta"; if (function_exists ('date _ default_timezone_set ') date_default_timezone_set ($ timezone); echo date ('d-m-y h: I: s ');?>

You will get result as India time

**************************************** *****

Even though PHP supports 'Asia/Riyadh ', MySQL doesn' t! I had to use '+' instead, to over come that since it's pointless to set the time zone for the script and not the database activities. to do it for both, do the following:

<? PHP $ timezone = "Asia/Riyadh"; if (function_exists ('date _ default_timezone_set ') date_default_timezone_set ($ timezone ); mysql_query ("set session time_zone = '+ 3:00'");?>
