Where should I set the default timezone? - El Forum - 06-11-2008
[eluser]shuki[/eluser]
Hello,
I am writing an application that will be used in one timezone (Israel) and I wonder where should I set the timezone so that it will affect all the date/time functions?
Code:
date_default_timezone_set('Israel');Thanks,
Shuki

You can place that statement in model, if you use or definitely in controller

I would place it in index.php - right below the error_reporting line (or is that config.php... can't remember - config.php would be a better place, logically).

Thanks for your answers Prasad.P and Michael Wales.
I suppose that I can create a new library that I will auto load which will execute the
Code:
date_default_timezone_set('Israel');I will place the value 'Israel' in a config file for that library to keep a separation between parameters and execution. This library could then be extended to cater for other application settings.

I would avoid interfering with the index file and this may lead to "forgot-to-do-that: syndrome when upgrading,
An autoload library might be more appropriate. One of the config files might be even better.

You can put that function inside the index.php located in the root of your CI, just below the error_reporting(E_ALL)
This function will works in PHP5 only.

I have problems with website going blank when adding date_default_timezone_set('Sweden'); to index.php.
I'm on CI 2.1 and NGINX, PHP5, APC. Never experienced this on Apache.
