TIME ZONE DISPLAY IN REGIONAL SETTINGS - Dec 29th, 2018

I was curious as to why “Regional Settings” on some CMSB installs show as: “Timezone Name” with a pull down for a long list of locations and times and on others as: “Server Time” and “Local Time Adjustment”. Dave Edis from Interactive Tools had the answer (as always). He said: It's actually based on the version of PHP you have. If you have PHP 5.1+ it will show the timezone pulldown because that version supports timezones with: http://php.net/date-default-timezone-set Earlier PHP versions don't support timezones so we hand-coded a workaround that lets you put in the offset amount in hours and minutes. Interestingly, the code in general.php actually decides what to show by checking if that built-in PHP function exists: <?php if (function_exists('date_default_timezone_set')): ?>
