Not sure how your site is setup but, are people from around the world viewing your pages anonymously with their timezones being used and then the pages being cached? Quoting Ken Rickard <agentrickard@gmail.com>:

Try resetting the global timezone variable in hook_init().

<code> mymodule_init() { // figure out the page request and set a $zone var to the offset accordingly.

$zone = -14400; // the timezone offset in seconds (EDT here) global $conf; $conf['date_default_timezone'] = $zone; } </code>

This should temporarily override the site's timezone setting.

Hi Everyone, I'm having an interesting problem on which the timezone of my site (Drupal 6.4) will change depending on the page being viewed. This has led to very strange results (such as story postings dates being off) and there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to which pages work (have the correct timezone) and which don't.

I have the date.timezone variable set in the php.ini, but this doesn't seem to be effective. The only thing I can think of is that there is possibly a problem with date.module, but things are working correctly on a different server. Has anyone else experienced this or have any idea how to fix this?

Best, Kyle Cunningham
