Due to the hosting server being in a different timezone, your PHP scripts may not show the correct time. This can be easily resolved by changing the PHP setting called '''''date.timezone''''.

You can set a specific ''date.timezone'' value in PHP by adding the following line to your local php.ini file (you can create your own php.ini file and place it within 'public_html' folder. This can be done via cPanel File Manager):

'''''date.timezone = "US/Central"'''''

The above example will change the timezone for your PHP scripts to ''US/Central''. The full list of supported timezones is available [http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php here] and you need to replace "US/Central" with your timezone.

Once you change the timezone to the one needed, your site should be displaying the proper time.
