Local Time Zone Setting - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

i'm trying understand time zone settings of joomla.

from reading understand can set time zone of website selecting locality dropdown list in global configuration/server tab.

so test, display variable defined date('y-m-d h:i:s').

when server time zone set utc (default) - date shows 2012-12-08 22:29:32

when server time zone set melbourne - date shows 2012-12-08 22:29:32

so missing? or broken in v3.0.2?

this works me. server in melbourne, too? need select server's true locality server in global configuration. article date , time stored in content table utc. when login, can select own locality in profile.

if display using format date('y-m-d h:i:s e'), timezone displayed. can grab timezone user parameters , similar this:

code: select all

date_default_timezone_set('australia/melbourne');
echo '<p>your local time ' . date('y-m-d h:i:s e') . '</p>';
