I am working in a php project using codeigniter. Please advise me what is the global way to set time zone for php and mysql . In which file I can set this. I want to set it without php.ini and .htaccess file.
currently I am using this before every entry -:
date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Kolkata");
$time = Date('Y-m-d h:i:s');
Placing this date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
on config.php above base url also works
PHP List of Supported Time Zones
application/config.php
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
Another way I have found use full is if you wish to set a time zone for each user
Create a MY_Controller.php
create a column in your user table you can name it timezone or any thing you want to. So that way when user selects his time zone it can can be set to his timezone when login.
application/core/MY_Controller.php
<?php
class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->set_timezone();
}
public function set_timezone() {
if ($this->session->userdata('user_id')) {
$this->db->select('timezone');
$this->db->from($this->db->dbprefix . 'user');
$this->db->where('user_id', $this->session->userdata('user_id'));
$query = $this->db->get();
if ($query->num_rows() > 0) {
date_default_timezone_set($query->row()->timezone);
} else {
return false;
}
}
}
}
Also to get the list of time zones in php
$timezones = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(DateTimeZone::ALL);
foreach ($timezones as $timezone)
{
echo $timezone;
echo "</br>";
}
Add this line inside the main index.php
of codeigniter folder
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
If you are looking globabally setup timezone in whole project then you can setup it CI application/config.php
file
$config['time_reference'] = 'Asia/Dubai';
add it in your index.php file, and it will work on all over your site
if ( function_exists( 'date_default_timezone_set' ) ) {
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
}
you can try this:
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
In application/config.php OR application/autoload.php
There is look like this:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
It's working fine for me, i think this is the best way to define DEFAULT TIMEZONE in codeignitor.
Put it in config/config.php
, It will work for whole application or index.php
of codeigniter.
Add this line to autoload.php in the application folder:
$autoload['time_zone'] = date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
add it to your project/index.php file, and it will work on all over your site.
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/kabul');
Add it to your project/application/config/config.php file, and it will work on all over your site.
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
