Set Your Site’s Date/Time Settings On Shared Hosting Using PHP5’s date_default_timezone_set()
One annoyance with putting my customer's site on shared hosting is not being able to control the date and time on the hosting server. Sure, I could simply host with a local company but that's not always the most cost-effective option.
I use a new function to PHP5, the date_default_timezone_set() function, which allows you to set your time zone. The obvious requirement is PHP5. PHP4 is no longer supported so I look forward to seeing more servers hosting PHP5.
date_default_timezone_set('America/Chicago');
Check out the full list of time zones to see which one you should use.
