default timezone in PHP

Question

What is default timezone in php? I checked it in the php.ini which shows the following with the timezone is left blank:

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone         


        

Answer 1

A simple code you have to write for the default timezone. which is:

date_default_timezone_get()

Now how to use:

You have to pass the timezone in this function like we want to set India timezone as default see:

date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Kolkata"); 

Now, whenever you would use date(), automatically return India timezone.
