; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = Asia/Shangha

• Asia/Urumqi —— Urumqi

• Asia/Hong_Kong —— Hong Kong

• Asia/ Macao —— Macao

• Asia/Taipei —— Taipei

• Asia/Singapore —— Singapore

Asia/Shanghai or PRC" , remember to restart the server after successful setting!

    echo date(&#39;Y-m-d H:i:s&#39;,time());
?>
