Be sure to set time zone in PHP 5.x by WhoCares

I found that PHP applications (NASMonitor, specifically) was reporting the wrong time zone and the time in that zone instead of mine. Turns out I had not set the PHP time zone. I realized it was because nothing told me I should and I incorrectly assumed it would get it from wherever FrontView stores it. So, I'm letting you know to set it. The default is Europe/Berlin (CEST, or Central European Summer Time, as I type). To change it, you have to edit PHP.INI. The add-on page in FrontView lets you do so, and the timezone is at the bottom. You can look up the correct one here: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php. PHP knows about DST, so you don't need to change it with the seasons. Mine now reports EST with the timezone set to America/New_York.

When you edit PHP.INI, the SAVE button is almost invisible to the right of the CANCEL button under the editor window (at least it is in IE10).

Note, too, that (like other WhoCares' add-ons) the editor always brings up the default, not the current configuration. So if you go back to edit anything else (not that I've found anything I think needs to be changed), be sure to re-set this.
