PHP wrong date/time

Question

PHP date() & time() return incorrect time:

When date.timezone = \"Europe/Riga\" the time returned by date() was <

Answer 1

I had some problem with timezone too. This can be handy for someone.

In my case, Chile Sumer Time CLST returned wrong timzeone offset.

Updating the timezonedb worked for me.

Go to: https://pecl.php.net/package/timezonedb

For Widnows Download the newest version of dll, copy into "ext" directory. Edit the php.ini and put below line:

extension=php_timezonedb.dll

For Linux You can use :

pecl install timezonedb

and in php.ini put:

extension=php_timezonedb.so
