I'm trying to set the timezone for a date in a Carbon object. It works fine locally but on my production box it keeps giving me Bad timezone error.
I've tried:
$date->setTimezone('7'); $date->setTimezone('+7'); $date->setTimezone('7:00'); $date->setTimezone('+7:00'); $date->setTimezone('UTC 7'); $date->setTimezone('UTC +7'); $date->setTimezone('UTC 7:00'); $date->setTimezone('UTC +7:00'); No idea why it's complaining on my production box. Can't find documentation either on what is the "proper" format to enter here. Can someone please help.
FYI: local is windows, and prod is Ubuntu box.

First, you set the timezone you initially have, so if you store your date in the database as UTC, then set the default timezone to UTC, then use ->setTimeZone('Valid/Timezone') to make the change from what you'v had to the new timezone.
Carbon::parse($client->db)->format('d/m/y'); is probably what you're wanting. (parse the yyyy-mm-dd date in the database as a date, and convert it to d/m/y format).
php $timezone = date_default_timezone_get(); echo "The current server timezone is: " . $timezone; echo "<br />". date('m/d/Y h:i:s a', time()); $mytime = Carbon\Carbon::now(); echo "<br />".
A time zone offset of "+hh:mm" indicates that the date/time uses a local time zone which is "hh" hours and "mm" minutes ahead of UTC. A time zone offset of "-hh:mm" indicates that the date/time uses a local time zone which is "hh" hours and "mm" minutes behind UTC.
You can change the timezone with this:
$timestamp = '2014-02-06 16:34:00'; $date = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $timestamp, 'Europe/Stockholm'); $date->setTimezone('UTC'); this format working fine to my Local(Ubuntu) and prod(Redhat) project.

I think you should refer to the official php timezone list. In your case you can use
$date->setTimezone('Asia/Phnom_Penh'); for UTC+7:00.
