How Do I Set the Time Zone?

[cmahaney]

Wondering where I can set the timezone....

Flasherize uses the same time zone as your PHP is configured to use. You can verify your hosting provider's timezone by uploading a php file containing this piece of code.

Code: [Select]

<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Usually you may change this in an .htaccess file. In case you cannot do that please contact your hosting provider to see if they can set the correct timezone for your web account.

I have tried to set the time zone on a number of occasions but was unsuccessful on each occasion. It is mentioned here that flashersize is using the same time zone as my PHP configuration but in my case the time zones are different. I really wonder what I have to do next.

call your provider service center

Open your .htaccess file and add the following line:

Code: [Select]

SetEnv TZ locationwhere location is the specific timezone you want to define.
A list of Supported Timezones can be found here:

If you have access to php.ini the information from PHP.net is available here:

My isp, good people that they are, suggested a fix in the Wordpress file wp-settings.php. I'm running a Wordpress installation. It fixed my problem. Contact me by PM at washingtonmike@windstream.net for further info.
