timezones and time display

[CptDondo]

I have a very basic shell script that I would like to include on my
webpage, so I'd like to translate it to php:

#!/bin/sh
LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 TZ=JST-9 date
LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8 TZ=MET-1METDST date
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 TZ=PST3PDT date

In short, it displays the date and time for a region in that region's
language and default format.

I've been poking around php but I can't find where to set the equivalent
of TZ and LANG for the date() function...

These are set with the date.timezone PHP configuration parameter. The
default is in your php.ini file; you can change it with ini_set(), i.e.

ini_set('date.timezone', 'PST3PDT');

so...

ini_set('date.timezone', 'PST3PDT');
echo date();
ini_set('date.timezone', 'MET-1METDST');
echo date();

or would that make something blow a gasket?

What about
date_timezone_set()
I can't find any usage examples....

It should work, although I've never tried it.

You can use date_default_timezone_set(), but that takes a different
argument, i.e. America/LosAngeles instead of PST3PDT (which I think
should be PST8PDT instead).

See the description in the manual for date_default_timezone_set; it has
a link to the appendix which lists the accepted timezones.
