Warning database time differs from php time

[rushy]

I think this may be trivial but just asking here in case.... I imported a database from a pw installation running on server hosted in France. My php time on my localhost is on UK time so now I get this warning:-

Warning, the database time differs from PHP time by 59 minutes 54 seconds.

2026-05-07 09:40:52 - database time
2026-05-07 08:40:58 - PHP time

Please edit your /site/config.php file and update your $config->timezone to match that of your database

That is clear enough, but presumably changing the config timezone will put my local pw install on French time, which I don't really want.

Does it really matter this warning....are there any further implications? 

Thanks for any input

Hello @rushy,

I think it only matters if you want the correct created and modified timestamp when creating or editing pages. I don't think there are any further implications.

You could try this script in your config.php. It worked for me:
