Hi everyone....I have a problem on my php date function... and i hope someone will help.... the PHP date function outputs incorrect results... It outputted incorrect date which is 8 hours late.... and i found out that the timezone has been set to UTC. So ive search the net and found out that you can set the timezone by explicitly adding a code date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Manila'); for example coz. im from the Philippines. So i tried the code and it works fine, but when i set date.timezone = Asia/Manila in the php.ini file. It doesnt work... I hope i can find answer here coz. these has been my problem for a long time... any response would be greatly appreciated tnxs :'(
