Then it's perfectly obvious! (I'm guessing).<br /> <br /> I'm trying to apply our local time zone to a php/mysql file server timestamps because strangely, not all servers are located in 'UTC'. Who knew?<br /> <br /> Anyhoo, I messed around with setting the mysql time zone to 'America/Toronto' in the cli, which appears to have worked, but this isn't reflected in time stamps of newly-uploaded files.<br /> <br /> Also unclear if this will survive a restart, who in their right mind would want that?<br /> <br /> <span class="emoticon e_vince_upset" title=">-|"><span class="e__">>-|</span></span> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42880.2&return_msg=42880.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42880.2"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42880_3"></a><div class="message" id="message_42880_3"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: william (WILLIAMA)<span class="message_time">27 Jun 2022 18:16</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 28 Jun 2022 00:11"></span></span> <span class="message_count">3 of 5</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42880.3">42880.3</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42880.1#a42880_1" target="_self">42880.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Not something like another date.timezone entry somewhere later in php.ini?</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42880.3&return_msg=42880.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42880.3"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42880_4"></a><div class="message" id="message_42880_4"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Peter (BOUGHTONP)<span class="message_time">27 Jun 2022 18:47</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">4 of 5</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42880.4">42880.4</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I very much recommend leaving all servers set to UTC always everywhere, and handling timezones when datetimes are output.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42880.4&return_msg=42880.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42880.4"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42880_5"></a><div class="message" id="message_42880_5"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">28 Jun 2022 10:14</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Peter (BOUGHTONP) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 28 Jun 2022 17:59"></span></span> <span class="message_count">5 of 5</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42880.5">42880.5</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42880.1#a42880_4" target="_self">42880.4</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Your cautionary note has me thinking my mtime-based incremental backups could be screwed up over this, if I actually got it working.
