(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0RC1)
date_default_timezone_set -- Sets the default timezone used by all date/time functions in a scriptdate_default_timezone_set() sets the default timezone used by all date/time functions.
Note: Since PHP 5.1.0 (when the date/time functions were rewritten), every call to a date/time function will generate a E_NOTICE if the timezone isn't valid, and/or a E_STRICT message if using the system settings or the
TZenvironment variable.
Instead of using this function to set the default timezone in your script, you can also use the INI setting date.timezone to set the default timezone.
timezone_identifierThe timezone identifier, like UTC or Europe/Lisbon. The list of valid identifiers is available in the Appendix J.
This function returns FALSE if the
timezone_identifier isn't valid, or TRUE
otherwise.
