Time zone problem in Codeigniter

Question

I have set the default time zone like date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');

But the time is exactly 4 hrs advance.
(ie) if Current time is 6:00:00 then its saving as 10:00:00

Don't know whats wrong. Its working perfectly in localhost but not in godaddy server.

Answer 1

Have you tried asking godaddy? I'm fairly sure date_default_timezone_set is a native PHP function and not related explicitly to CodeIgniter:
