Time and Date Configuration
There are a number of options that can be set to configure how Perch displays times within the administration control panel.
These settings are PHP strftime formatting codes, and can be changed to fit your preference, or if your server doesn’t adequately support the defaults.
Date and time formats
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| PERCH_DATE_LONG | Longer format date, month and year |
| PERCH_DATE_SHORT | Shorter format date, month and year |
| PERCH_TIME_LONG | Longer format hours and minutes |
| PERCH_TIME_SHORT | Shorter format hours and minutes |
Time zone settings
By default, Perch will use the time zone of your server. You can change that to a standard PHP time zone if needed.
Time zone
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| PERCH_TZ | Sets the timezone. A value PHP timezone string, like ‘UTC’ or ‘Europe/London’ |
