How to set time zone in codeigniter?

Question

I am working in a php project using codeigniter. Please advise me what is the global way to set time zone for php and mysql . In which file I can set this. I want to set it

Answer 1

In the application/config folder, get the file config.php and check for the below:

Change the value to your preferred time zone. For example to set time zone to Nairobi Kenya: $config['time_reference'] = 'Africa/Nairobi';
