DateTimeZone::__construct(): Unknown or bad timezone (timezone)

peppelaria 15 Jan, 2019

Hi Bob.

I'm having the following problem: "DateTimeZone::__construct(): Unknown or bad timezone (timezone)" on every db save action.
in the db save action I use "modified:{date/timezone:Y-m-d H:i:s}" to have the correct timezone saved in the db.
can you help me about this?

thanks in advance

You need to replace "timezone" with an actual valid timezone.

Also, you could leave it as {date:} and DISPLAY it as the correct timezone.

thanks Healyhatman, i solved creating a php variable
"putenv("TZ=Europe/Rome");
return date("Y-m-d H:i:s");"
and passing it to dbsave action: "nodified:{var:now}".

It's been too much work because I had to modify a great amount of forms

Why? Just do it as

modified:{date/Europe/Rome:Y-m-d H:i:s}

OR if you just want it according to the server timezone set in your php.ini, use

modified:{date/site:}
