Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Asia/Karachi is correct, c.f. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-08-16 00:10:33] ppasindud at gmail dot com Asia/Karachi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-05-10 02:56:52] farhan at askwhyweb dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/timezones --- There is no such timezone for Pakistan (an asian country). When use Asia/Pakistan the PHP throws error saying not applicable. Quite strange but it needs to be there. Test script: --------------- date_default_timezone_set('Etc/GMT+5'); echo "The time is " . date("h:i:sa"); // Output is 14 hours above the original time. // Second case date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Pakistan'); echo "The time is " . date("h:i:sa"); // Output no error but time behind 3 hours to the original time. Expected result: ---------------- Was expecting input for 'Asia/Pakistan' in date_default_timezone_set function which is accepting the region but not giving expected current time of the region. Actual result: -------------- Not accurate/ false ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67242&edit=1
