You are required to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function.

To get around this, just open up index.php of your application and in the first line, add the following:

date_default_timezone_set('Timezone/String');

You should replace the ‘Timezone/String’ with your timezone information. Since my timezone is Asia/Kathmandu, I used:

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kathmandu');

Hope this helps.

Just add into your index.php in the root directory

date_default_timezone_set('_timezone_selected_by_user');

You can do it by set timeZone property in your main config file. Check the code below and Yii Doc.

Check this: return array( 'timeZone' => 'Asia/Colombo', );
