Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] timezones

[Don S. <do...@se...>]

OK it's pretty simple.

In the index.php for my branch I put this as the first line of php code:

putenv("TZ=3DUS/Central");=20

I think what should be done is the hub/branch should have this
preference stored in a database for that hub or branch.  By default it
can be null, in which case phpWS won't try to do the putenv and it will
default to the system timezone.  If, however, it is set, then Core can
all the putenv line using the TZ specified for that hub/branch.

What do you guys think?
