DateTime functions not working in new set-up PHP 5.3.27 or any other version

You may seem to find yourself in a predicament when you have a new server with a default set-up of PHP configuration. When you transfer your working website when it does not work as intended.

I was searching on the web how can this be? Does the new version, not accommodate the functions used previously.  You might assume that, but the simple solution to the problem is the Date Timezone settings in the config or PHP.ini file.  You just need to set it to your desired timezone.  Once you have specified this, the functions should work as it used to before.

At least that what solved my problem.
