PHP Timezone problem

[rodrigu5]

This year Mexico got out fron daylight savings time, but PHP is still assuming we are on CDT instead of CST time.

Trying to find out what's going on, it seems that PHP libraries must be updated to reflect that recent change.

How can I get the PHP libraries update to get them work properly?

Thanks.

As updating the php libraries you can not. That is at the server level. You can however use htaccess file to use Central Standard Time.

A list of time zones for Mexico here: https://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.others.php

htaccess syntax:

php_value date.timezone 'America/Chicago'

Well, actually Etc/GMT+6 seems to solve the problem. (would have thought it should be Etc/GMT-6 instead, but not it is "plus 6"

As long as your running the correct time for your website. I get confused with UTC, GMT, and all the US auto change from DST to CST.
