SetEnv TZ Trouble

I've searched the forums and read all posts concerning timezones. The best solution I found for changing my websites timezone was to add "SetEnv TZ Europe/London" to my .htaccess file (I also tried "SetEnv TZ GMT).

I did this and php echo date("d/m/Y G:i T"); still gives me PST.

Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Any tips will be hugely appreciated,
Rich.

From within your php script you can use the following to set the TZ environment variable:

putenv('TZ=Europe/London');

Once Dreamhost have upgraded to PHP 5.1 (or if you have compiled your own copy), you can use:

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');

Thanks for the reply.

So SetEnv doesn't work here then?

I was trying to avoid adding putenv to all my scripts, it's looking like I don't have a choice, meh.
