Adjusting WHMCS Time Zone

Ever since I started using WHMCS (Web Host Manager Complete Solution), my dilemma is that it uses the server’s timezone as its default. If a server is based outside of my local timezone, I have no choice but to adjust all of the transaction dates every time there is an entry at the WHMCS.

Now, here’s a trick to dictate WHMCS to use your local timezone:

Open the file configuration.php for editing.
Add the line date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Manila'); if you are from Manila.

The list of timezones can be found at http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

This worked great, thanks. Is there any way to change the time format to 12hr vs 24hr? I think it looks kind of dumb to have 22:30PM when ditching the PM is the whole point of 24hr
