PHP TIME/DATE timezone dont work

Question

i try to echo the date but the date is one hour to early, i already changed the timezone in the ini but it doesnt work.

thats my code:

$year = date('y');
$month = date('m');
$day = date('d');
$hour = date('H');
$min = date('i');
$sek = date('s');
$date = $day . "." . $month . "." . $year . "/" . $hour . ":" . $min .    ":" . $sek;
echo $date;

Thanks in advance!

Now i have 9:34 but the site shows me 8:34 after restart it doesnt work !

You should restart your apache after changing ini file, [Click Here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12892331/do-i-need-to-restart-apache-after-changing-the-php-ini-file) for more details. — TIGER, Jan 03 '17 at 08:20
Seems like a peculiar way to generate the date - why not like `echo date( 'd.m.Y/H:i:s', strtotime('now') );`? — Professor Abronsius, Jan 03 '17 at 08:30
As I wrote in my answer you need to set date_default_timezone_set("CET"); or what ever timezone you're on. — Michael, Jan 03 '17 at 08:37
I know that this is a dirty hack but you could: $hour = date('H')+1; — Michael, Jan 03 '17 at 08:47
@Michael yes that could work but i already have a solution thanks for your help nevertheless :) — c.Bauer, Jan 03 '17 at 08:48

You can set your timezone:

// date_default_timezone_set('CET');
date_default_timezone_set('Continent/Country');
$year = date('y');
$month = date('m');
$day = date('d');
$hour = date('H');
$min = date('i');
$sek = date('s');
$date = $day . "." . $month . "." . $year . "/" . $hour . ":" . $min .    ":" . $sek;
echo $date;

you need setting default timezone。

Warning: date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in /home/jiangyahui/worksp/php/test_1.php on line 8

Are you sure about the timezone you set it work? you can echo phpinfo(); and check "date.timezone" field. if the value is not right you can use date_default_timezone_set('YOUR TIMEZONE'); for change timezone in your code

Note: if you want to print date time in your format you can use

date("y.m.d/H:i:s");
