title: ZendFramework 2 : Set date_default_timezone
body: <p>I am new to the Zend Framework 2 and would like to simply know if there is a global way of setting the date default timezone.</p>
  
  <p>I am aware that i should just be able to add the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>date_default_timezone_set("UTC");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However i have been looking for about an hour and can't find an answer addressing this issue.</p>
  
  <p>I have also tried by setting this in the php.ini but i'm not sure if this would suppress the error message.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
