PHP strtotime函数在不同服务器上的同一日期给出不同的结果

Question

I am using strtotime function with 28th October, 2014 date like echo strtotime('2014-10-28') on local and staging servers.

Local server result: 1414468800

Staging server result: 1414425600

Why there is difference between the results on different servers and how can I fix this issue?

Answer 1

i think it is because the two servers have diff timezones..

you can atleast do this:

 $date = '2014-10-28';  // date
 $timezone = 'America/Virgin'; // timezone you prefer


 $date = new DateTime($date , new DateTimeZone($timezone));

 echo $date->getTimestamp();

Answer 2

You can set the timezone in your php.ini file. The value is

date.timezone = "Americas/New_York"

I think this values are different on your systems.

Otherwise you have to set it in your scripts but i think its better to set it in your configuration.
