Unfortunately i can't make all of them change this conf. I was suggesting you write a script to programmatically hack all the files in question, but its a moot point you've seen that there is a sane way of tackling the issue. > But now i know that > i can change this on .htaccess > > >> if you RTFM (and I mean > actually READ) then you would know that you >> can set the relevant date related > ini settings in a .htaccess file >> here is the relevant link > again: >> > http://php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php#ini.date.timezone >> > > Sorry, i have read it but i was reading the portuguese version and it seens like > it is not completely translated.
