How to correct timezone

I am gosting with GoDaddy and the time seems to be 2 hour behind,

I live in UK.

i tried

putenv("TZ=Europe/London");

PHP:

but that didnt work

Any ideas?

 

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');

PHP:

Set this at the top of your script.

 

Tried that and i get this...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: date_default_timezone_set() in /home/content/a/m/a/username/html/includes/functions.php on line 7

Code (markup):

 

You should ask your host to upgrade to PHP 5, since support for PHP 4 is ending this year. (And having this function is really useful too)


Anyway, there are 2 workarounds now:

Use date() along with strtotime() to add 2 hours to the current timestamp.

echo date('H:i:s', strtotime('+2 Hours'));

PHP:

Or:
Place this once at the top of your script:

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'en_UK', 'english-uk', 'uk', 'eng');

PHP:

And then use strftime() to format the date.

 

But the date function is on at least 50 pages so i wanted a function i could add to the functions page which is included on every page.

 

Have a look at the control panel of your host. Some of them have an option to switch between PHP 4 and PHP 5. Try enabling PHP 5 if you can. (Then try the first code again)

Other than that, I don't think there's a way you can change the timezone so that date() displays all dates automatically right.
