Change mysql timezone from phpMyAdmin

Question

I am trying to change the timezone of my database. I am on shared server and database support guys can not change it for me only. Time zone is currently +1:00 I want it as +05:30. I searched and tried following but nothing worked.

date_default_timezone_set('timezone_name');

Added to my index.php file.

mysql> SET GLOBAL time_zone = 'timezone_name';

It says access restricted.

SET time_zone = timezone_name

Query run now row affected.

My site is hosted on site-ground us server.

Solution 1

As I am on shared server my provider did not change it only for me. So after search I fount that, I have to use datetime type on sql instead of current time stamp and as madipradhana said I was updated my php.ini or .htaccess .

Solution 2

Probably you can change the timezone in .htacess without touching your PHP scripts or MySQL query. Open up your .htaccess file, enter the command as below.

SetEnv TZ your_timezone

For example, enter this command if your location in Jakarta

SetEnv ID Asia/Jakarta

Refer to the link below for available timezone:

Solution 3

As you are on shared server use date() of php and set date_default_timezone_set('timezone_name'); to your index.php

Surely that should be 'SetEnv TZ Asia/Jakarta' not 'SetEnv ID Asia/Jakarta' - and this will only work if 'Asia/Jakarta' is known to the timezone database and the webservr is Apache, AND php is running as mod_php. Not to mention the fact that which TZ database the PHP install uses depends on the PHP build.

Either SetEnv ID Asia/Jakarta or SetEnv TZ Asia/Jakarta works fine on me. Sorry, I didn't mention that the command above is an example if you want to set timezone to Asia/Jakarta. I've edited my post.
