Even though php supports 'Asia/Riyadh', MySQL doesn't! I had to use
'+3:00' instead, to over come that since it's pointless to set the time zone for the
script and not the database activities. To do it for both, do the following :
<?php
$timezone = "Asia/Riyadh";
if(function_exists('date_default_timezone_set')) date_default_timezone_set($timezone);
mysql_query("SET SESSION time_zone = '+3:00'");
?>
