 Timezone setting help


When I execute <?php echo date('r') ?>

I get the following result.

Mon, xx Sep 2005 xx:xx:xx -0700 (xx is variable)

It means the server is at -7 GMT, I'm where +5.5GMT. I don't know what could be my

1). Server Timezone = ??
2). Default Time zone = ??

I want to modify directly from xoops_root/language/YOur_language/global.php if possible but I don't know where exactly I should insert the time difference.

Is this something that can be fixed from Admin >> Preference > General setting > Server timezone & Default time zone?

Right now my setting is
1). Server Timezone = GMT
2). Default Time zone = +5.5 GMT

I want the site to have default timezone at +5.5GMT but all the posts are taking -7GMT. And even comments are revealing incorrect time.

Please help....

I'm running on Version 2.0.13.1.

Thank you in advance!

G'day All. Have you gone into administration -> System -> Preferences -> General Settings, and changed the server timezone, and default timezone settings in there?

Cheers

 Re: Changing date format settings


if your server is located in a region that is -5 GMT then you would set your server timezone to GMT -5.

and the local timezone would then be set to the timezone of your locality..
