PHP > Set Default Timezone

Question

We want to set the timezone up as a variable in PHP to account for different timezones / daylight savings.

Our code works perfectly when hard coded:

date         


        

Answer 1

Try this code:

$setzone = "Australia/Brisbane";
date_default_timezone_set("$setzone");

Answer 2

if you will add quote then variable behaving as string for instance

$setzone = "Australia/Brisbane";
echo '".$setzone."';

Output :

".$string." //output as string not a variable value

So you need to remove quote when passing string into variable

date_default_timezone_set('".$setzone."');

to

date_default_timezone_set($setzone);
