note 11218 added to putenv

Here is an example of using putenv to change the timezone for the current script. You would have to add a putenv() call to each page in which you wanted to change the timezone. This was posted here about a year ago...I forgot the author's name. He mentioned to "see the zoneinfo directory-tree on your System for a list". This is usually /usr/share/zoneinfo or /usr/lib/zoneinfo. It works in PHP3, not sure about PHP4. //Set the Timezone print("server timezone is: " . getenv('TZ') . "<br>\n"); print("server time is: " . date("H:i:s") . "<br><br>\n"); print("changing server time zone to US/Pacific....<br><br>\n"); putenv("TZ=US/Pacific"); print("new server time is: " . date("H:i:s") . "<br>\n"); print("new server timezone for this script is: " . getenv('TZ')); some Unix servers may use a different format for TZ. Example: putenv("TZ=PST8EDT"); http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.putenv.php
