Codeigniter timezone mysql settings

Question

Just realised WHY my site is now showing all datetime variables as -1 hr... I\'m using Codeigniter for the first time! (Never had this problem before)

So, I have inc

Answer 1

Add these line in your config file and then check, it is working for me

$config['time_reference'] = 'gmt';# Default should be GMT
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');# Add this line after creating timezone to GMT for reflecting

Answer 2

am also face this problem. i tried this way..

$this->db->query("SET LOCAL time_zone='Asia/Kolkata'");
$query="SELECT * FROM offers where NOW() between offfer_from and offer_to";
$res=$this->db->query($query);

it will work fine in my project and i'm not using anything new default model.. if you want global solution means you can use auto-load some model.

Answer 3

In config/autoload.php, set a model to load on each page load. then call $this->db->query("SET time_zone='+0:00'"); in that model constructor.

config/autoload.php

$autoload['model'] = array('default_model');// for ex, "say default_model"

In application/models, create a new model file with name of "default_model.php" and add below code.

application/models/default_model.php

class Default_model extends CI_Model {

     function __construct()
     {
         // Call the Model constructor
         parent::__construct();
         $this->db->query("SET time_zone='+0:00'");
     }
 }

On each page load, this constructor will be called and mysql timezone will be set to +0:00.

Answer 4

I like the solution proposed by Kumar however, I didn't need to set this globally, only when showing dates stored in UTC time in my db.

In my api model I have the following function.

  public function setDBTimeOffset(){
    $dt = new DateTime();
    $offset = $dt->format("P");
    $result = $this->db->query("SET time_zone='$offset';");
    return $result;
  } # END FUNCTION setDBTimeOffset

From my controller, I call the following first.

  $this->api->setDBTimeOffset();

Followed by the call to the function that queries the db. For example, I am fetching some user history.

  $data["viewData"]["allHistory"] = $this->api->getUserHistory("ALL", 0, 10000);

When I display the output, the dates are in my timezone. I hope this helps someone, somewhere in time (couldn't resist).

You can set it in the index.php file in your project folder on top and after <?php

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Bangkok');
