How to change Database TimeStamps:
4Goodhosting's servers are set on EDT. This cannot be changed as this is for all users.
You can, however, use an easy workaround if you wish to use a different timezone – you can modify the return of the MySQL NOW() function.
Let’s take a look at the most standard query for selecting the current date/time:
SELECT NOW();
If you want to add 5 hours to the result, you can use the following syntax:
SELECT DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 5 HOUR);
In a similar way, if you want to subtract 5 hours from the server timezone, you can use this query:
SELECT DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 5 HOUR);
Using DATE_SUB and DATE_ADD, you can modify the query result to fit your specific needs.
