XAMPP PHP date function time is different from local machine time

My computer local time is 12-03-2013 4:30pm.

My XAMPP date function prints the time as 12-03-2013 10:49:56.

How can I set the XAMPP server time to display the system time?

Solution

  • Go to C:\xampp\php\php.ini, or your custom path where php.ini is, open it.

    Look for the following: date.timezone = "Europe/Warsaw". Probably You have different value than my Europe/Warsaw. So search just string: date.timezone.

    Change value Europe/Warsaw to the proper value, for example date.timezone = "Asia/Kolkata"

    If someone's looking for his location, check valid values http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

    Don't forget to restart your XAMPP.
