[wp-testers] Date() function

[Luke]

I have found that if you are on PHP5 doing the following seems to make
PHP's native date and time functions work as expected:

1. First set your timezone in Wordpress settings.
2. Then add something like the following:

function my_init() {
  if( get_option( 'timezone_string' ) != '' ) {
    date_default_timezone_set( get_option( 'timezone_string' ) );
  }
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_init');
