php: date() an incorrect value in module. Why?

[Ronaldo Perez]

I do not understand

call function date("Y d m H i s Z") from test.php - getting the correct value,

call the same function from validation.php (from module) - get an incorrect value for the hours, minutes, seconds and timezone

.... I do not understand where I'm wrong?

My thought is because your prestashop config file or somewhere in the back office you have set the timezone for your shop. When you call date() from test.php, you are not inheriting any controller or config information from the back office (assuming that test is not a controller with a class extending any of prestashops classes/controllers). That's my guess as to why it's showing different values.

can you post the code from the validation.php, just the line where you call the date function.

Yes, I have had the same thought, probably somewhere set

date_default_timezone_set ('tz'); //tz - shop timezone

 

I thought that datetime takes an immutable value of the server, I made ​​a mistake

 

justini, bellini13 - many thanks
