Note that there may be some unexpected side-effects that result from using either set_default_timezone() or the putenv("TZ=...") workalike for earlier PHP versions. ANY date formatted and output either by PHP or its apache host process will be unconditionally expressed in that timezone. [red. That is only true for the putenv() hack - Derick] This does indeed include the web server's logs and other output files and reports which by default usually do not include any indication of timezone. This has a further side-effect on log processing and analysis, obviously. --was-- Note that there may be some unexpected side-effects that result from using either set_default_timezone() or the putenv("TZ=...") workalike for earlier PHP versions.
