body: <p>i have an android project that Inserts new record to an online mySQL database, it is a free hosting.</p>
  
  <p>hostinger.in</p>
  
  <p>my server in located in India (i think so), and im from Philippines.
  every time i insert new data, it stores the DATETIME as the server's timezone.</p>

  <pre><code>&lt;?php 
      if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST'){
  
              date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Manila");
  
              $res_accession = $_POST['res_accession'];
              $res_usn = $_POST['res_usn'];
              $res_author = $_POST['res_author'];
              $res_title = $_POST['res_title'];
              $res_status = $_POST['res_status']; 
  
      $sql = "INSERT INTO res_library (res_accession, res_usn, res_date, res_author, res_title, res_status) 
                           VALUES ('$res_accession', '$res_usn', NOW(),'$res_author', '$res_title', '$res_status')";
  
      require_once('dbConnect.php');
  
      if(mysqli_query($con,$sql)){
          echo 'Reservation Successful';
      }else{
          echo 'Could Not Reserve';
      }
  
      mysqli_close($con);
  }
