DATE(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   DATE(1)

NAME

       date - print the date

SYNOPSIS

       date [ option ] [ seconds ]

DESCRIPTION

       Print the date, in the format

	    Tue Aug 16 17:03:52 CDT 1977

       The options are

       -u     Report Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) rather than local time.

       -n     Report the date as the number of seconds since the epoch, 00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970.

       The conversion from Greenwich Mean Time to local time depends on the $timezone environment variable; see ctime(2).

       If the optional argument seconds is present, it is used as the time to convert rather than the real time.

FILES

       /env/timezone
	      Current timezone name and adjustments.

       /adm/timezone
	      A directory containing timezone tables.

       /adm/timezone/local
	      Default timezone file, copied by init(8) into /env/timezone.

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.';
	      }
	      ?>
