Is it possible?

Answer 1

Two options for adding timezone in codeigniter. I tried with both and both is working fine for whole project.

• add it in your main index.php file.

• place it in your config file like this(After defined('BASEPATH') Line).

  defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
  
  date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
