Can we add another for this - no... (5 Replies)
I was trying to schedule a job to run on the last Sunday of October. To stop a process that I have running before daylight savings automatically falls back at 2AM then restart it after the hour has been regained. I thought I was smart (my mistake) and scheduled the 2 entries in cron. I figured that... (3 Replies)

Hello,
I've been looking at coming up with a time change on my Sun workstations since daylight savings time comes early this year. Someone at work told me that a sun patch is available if you have a maintenance contract. It was recommended to just set your systems to GMT time zone. How is this... (5 Replies)
I am running a SUN E450 on solaris (5.7). I have applied the DST patch and the system time is correct. However when users login the get the time wrong (+4 hours) (I am in EDT Zone). Does anyone know where a system wide variable for this could be set. (Root user gets the right time)

Our aix unix box did not recognize daylight savings time since it was moved up. Could someone please give me the syntax to change the hour? I looked in man and couldn't find anything, or I missed it. I'm in 3rd grade so if you can, please provide specific instructions.
Thanks! (2 Replies)

LEARN ABOUT PHP
date_default_timezone_set
DATE_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE_SET(3) 1 DATE_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE_SET(3)date_default_timezone_set - Sets the default timezone used by all date/time functions in a script
SYNOPSIS
bool date_default_timezone_set (string $timezone_identifier)
DESCRIPTION date_default_timezone_set(3) sets the default timezone used by all date/time functions.
Note
Since PHP 5.1.0 (when the date/time functions were rewritten), every call to a date/time function will generate a E_NOTICE if the
timezone isn't valid, and/or a E_WARNING message if using the system settings or the $TZ environment variable.
Instead of using this function to set the default timezone in your script, you can also use the INI setting date.timezone to set the
default timezone.
PARAMETERS
o $timezone_identifier
- The timezone identifier, like UTC or Europe/Lisbon. The list of valid identifiers is available in the "List of Supported Time-
zones".
RETURN VALUES
This function returns FALSE if the $timezone_identifier isn't valid, or TRUE otherwise.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Getting the default timezone
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
$script_tz = date_default_timezone_get();
if (strcmp($script_tz, ini_get('date.timezone'))){
echo 'Script timezone differs from ini-set timezone.';
} else {
echo 'Script timezone and ini-set timezone match.';
}
?>
