Hello, actually in answer to your question, I use putenv
regularly to control the timezone info. Here's the code that
sets both the local environment and SQL to the right
timezone. I also use it when running a cvs client through the
web. I will post what format it's looking for next.
<?php
//this isn't the most graceful approach, but if it's set, set the tz
if (isset($_SESSION[BEE_PROFILE_TZOFFSET])) {
putenv('TZ='.$_SESSION[BEE_PROFILE_TZOFFSET]);
//format the timezone for SQL
$timeZone = preg_replace('/([+-]\d{2})(\d{2})/',
'\'\1:\2\'', date('O'));
mysql_query('SET time_zone='.$timeZone);
}
?>
