This is good, but for this we have to know the proper standard GMT, It will better for set the time zone by using date_default_timezone_set() function date_default_timezone_set(America/Los_Angeles);

Zaft, I agree with you this is a bit long process but reliable one.

There are lots of problem with “TZ” environment variable check this
http://www.php.net/putenv

And, even sometime the format of the “TZ” varible ma y vary into various UNIX system. And furthermore, you can only use those “TZ” variables which are defined in your particular system, it may or may not work with the other system

Why not just use
putenv(‘TZ=America/Los_Angeles’);
to change the timezone?

Your solution is a bit too much for the problem.
