How to Check Your PHP Timezone in cPanel

If you're not sure which timezone your web hosting account is using, you can easily check it with a simple PHP script inside your cPanel account.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Log in to your cPanel account.

2. Open the File Manager.

3. Navigate to your website’s root directory (usually public_html).

4. Click + File and create a new file named:
   timecheck.php

5. Edit the file and paste the following code:

   <?php
   echo 'Timezone: ' . date_default_timezone_get() . "<br>";
   echo 'Current time: ' . date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
   ?>
   

6. Save the file, then open it in your browser by visiting:
   https://yourdomain.com/timecheck.php

7. You’ll see your current PHP timezone and the server’s local time.

After checking, you can safely delete the timecheck.php file for security.
