fix the time zone in php.ini or in the code itself

Add something like this to your php.ini file date.timezone = "Asia/Manila", that will set the default without having you put in the date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Manila'); on every file that uses time functions

Insert this at the very top of your code:

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Manila');

It's most likely echoing the time on the server, which is often GMT. If you're time zone is GMT+5, you may need to add 5 hours to the timestamp.

For 5 hours...

$offset = 5 * 60 * 60;
echo date('M j y g:i:A', time() + $offset);
