How do I offset the Timezone for my location, instead of the server timezone?

First of all, setting the timezone at .htaccess level using “SetEnv TZ location” doesn’t work on your php script.

If you are using PHP 5.1 and ealier, add this code within your php

putenv(‘TZ=Europe/London’);   /* change the TZ value accordingly. */

If you are using PHP 5.1 up, add this code within your php script.

date_default_timezone_set(‘Europe/London’);

Apache 2.x hosting offer many new features compare to Apache 1.3.x, including

• Unix Threading – On Unix systems with POSIX threads support, Apache can now run in a hybrid multiprocess, multithreaded mode. This improves scalability for many, but not all configurations.
• Better support for non-Unix platforms – Apache 2.0 is faster and more stable on non-Unix platforms such as BeOS, OS/2, and Windows. With the introduction of platform-specific multi-processing modules (MPMs) and the Apache Portable Runtime (APR), these platforms are now implemented in their native API, avoiding the often buggy and poorly performing POSIX-emulation layers.

And many more, check http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/new_features_2_0.html

BlueHost and Hostmonster, the best web hosting listed on my site, has upgraded their 750 servers 2 weeks ago.

 They are forcing all their clients to run Php 5 as default interpreter while keeping Php 4 as an option when Cpanel forcing their user to upgrade to the newer version

 Apache has been upgraded to version 2.2.6 from Apache 1.3.x and MySQL upgraded to version 5.2.5.

 PHP 4 is being deprecated and I believe more and more host will do similar upgrade very soon.
