php - How to set local timezone in laravel -

is there way set local timezone in laravel?

in config/app.php

'timezone' => 'utc', 

• what should added timezone value above uses local timezone?

after research, stumbled upon following php way of dealing it:

$usertimezone = auth::user()->timezone;  date_default_timezone_set($usertimezone);  // , change configuration match  config::set('app.timezone', $usertimezone) 

but, there elegant solution other converting timezone using above code.

cheers

don't that. never set global laravel timezone user's timezone. you'll face endless problems.

choose application timezone, set laravel config timezone , never change it.

instead, when need show date in user's timezone like

user::find(1)->foobazed_at->timezone(auth::user()->timezone); 

to control model columns automatically converted carbon\carbon instances, add following method model file:

public function getdates() {     return array('foobazed_at', static::created_at, static::updated_at, static::deleted_at); }
