Re: note 8548 added to date

Are you perchance referring to the variable simply as $TZ? The following code works OK on PHP 4.0.2: <?php putenv("TZ=Europe/Rome"); echo getenv("TZ"); ?> You could just try: $TZ = getenv("TZ"); somewhere in your code. See also the safe_mode_*, variables_order, and other directives in your php.ini Your note has been removed. BTW, bug reports or questions should be posted to bugs.php.net or the PHP general list respectively (see "Support" in www.php.net for more information) --- maffew@cat.org.au wrote: > changing timezones: the method given in the comment > above: > > putenv("TZ=Europe/Rome"); > > stopped working when i switched to php4. it would be > really handy to have some fast method inside php4 to > utilise the built-in standard C timezone handling, > which is generally excellent, to deal with the case > where a single server is showing web sites for > multiple timezones. > > currently i am faced with either: > > * adding in a fixed time offset for each site > OR > * hacking something in perl or C to update a > configuration script with the correct offset, using > the standard C library somehow, and then run that > once a day so it picks up daylight savings changes > across the world > > http://www.php.net/manual/function.date.php > > > -- > PHP Notes Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > php-notes-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: > php-notes-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: > php-list-admin@lists.php.net > ===== --- Jesus M.
