Kirby messes with "time"

bvdputte · May 30, 2017, 12:54pm

When I use

<?php echo date( 'Y-m-d H:i', time() ); ?>

from within a template, the time is 2 hours earlier.
When I call the same function from a static php file on the same server I get the time as expected.

How is this possible and how do I fix this?

FYI: I’ve tried this on the starterkit as well and it is also “wrong” there.

Thanks

Have you set the timezone in your config.php?

c::set('timezone','Europe/Berlin');

Well that was easy. I should ask stuff earlier here

Danke Shön, @texnixe !

does that config setting change all calls of php date function using date-default-timezone-set? so if i set the config and call date() in like my controller will it use that timezone?

Yes, it sets the timezone for all date functions:

public function template(Page $page, $data = array()) {
  return $this->component('template')->render($page, $data);
}


public function request() {
  if(!is_null($this->request)) return $this->request;
  return $this->request = new Request($this);
}


public function router() {
  return $this->router;
