PHP date_default_timezone_set()

Question

In php, is there a way to set default timezone in .htaccess or wherever, as long as i don have to set it at every php page.

provided i don have access to server, only PHP files. Thanks in advance

UPDATE

i am using apache (LAMP), and don't have access to php.ini

Answer 1

Considering you use apache from the fact you mention .htaccess:

Yes, as long as it runs mod_php it is possible in .htaccess like so:

php_value date.timezone "Europe/Berlin"

Or you could set date.timezone in php.ini like Karl Laurentius Roos suggested. This would only be possible if you have access to your php config through. Remember to restart PHP (CGI mode) or your webserver (mod_php) after altering php.ini.
