Question

As i said before, its 20 min past midnight, and when i do check the date using php

as date(“Y-m-d”);
and date(“Y-m-d”,strtotime(“now”));

i still get the previous days’ date. I expected a lot of things to go wrong while coding but definitely not this. I wouldnt even have it in the list of potential-things-that-could-go-wrong. I have refereshed the browser, using SHift + refresh and have also gone to the extent of restarting the system.

What went wrong?

Answer 1

Are you sure that you get the correct time? I.e. print more info:

echo date("c")

This will give you everything, date, time, time zone etc.

You can set the timezone you want to use with date_default_timezone_set. You can find a list of valid timezones here.

You can also set a timezone in your php.ini config by setting the date.timezone-directive.
