Is there a way to force a default time zone? I can't get help from bluehost on their recent server changes and now my time is +5h. I know I can set the timezone in PHP using date_default_timezone_set('America/Chicago') but is there a better way?

Hi

You can use the date adjust parameter in includes.php for that

Please feel free to review / rate our software

Here are sample includes.php config entries to set your timezone and date format:

// GENERAL SETTINGS
date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Sydney');
$dateformatstr="dS F Y"; // show date in format for example 25th May 2004 20:17
$admindateformat=2; // Set date in admin section to UK style format dd/mm/yyyy

Refer to PHP docs for a list of supported Timezones >>
