TimeZone For Atlanta

Hello


I was wondering what setting I have to put in my PHP script so that I can get my timezone set to Atlanta (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=25)

I dont seem to find it on the php.net site (http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.america.php)

Thanks

use a "major city" like

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
echo date('D,F j, Y, h:i:s A');
?>

or even try

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('America/Atlanta');
echo date('D,F j, Y, h:i:s A');
?>

cant tell you if it works with atlanta but its worth a shot

hey America/New_York worked, thanks :)

Question:

It works fine on my localhost but when I upload the same code, it shows me a time which is off by 1 hour.

Any idea whats happening?

Maybe it isn't accounting for daylight savings properly?

Assuming that is the case, How do fix it then?

Any update on this will be appreciated :thumbsup:

I don't know much about the php time zone function but I assume you would have to create an if statement. If the current date is between the dates that daylight savings is in affect then you add the hour, or subtract.

That's when the clocks are moved forward - or backward - one hour to give us extra sunlight during the winter. I think it's from October to April. Some Countries don't bother with it.
