Question

I’m using the function

$data=date_default_timezone_set("Y-m-d");

and I’m getting the date like 0000-00-00 in my table. Can any one help me ?

Answer 1

date_default_timezone_set sets the default timezone and takes time zone identifier(e.g. “EST” or “EST5EDT”).
After time zone is set you can use date function to format datetime value.

date_default_timezone_set("GMT"); // timezone you want to use if you don't want the OS default timezone
$dt = date("Y-m-d");
