Thanks Brion,
Would you know where I find TZ for whatsoever place/state I need? For
instance, instead of Berlin, let's say I need a sitewide default timezone TZ
for California/USA, or São Paulo/BR.
I don't think I could go ahead and make up some thing like:
putenv("TZ=USA/California"); Or putenv("TZ=Brazil/São Paulo").
Couldn't I?:)
Thanks a lot, mauro.

However, when I assign a page with ~~~~, my signature always takes the CST

Does someone know where should I set up, in order to get the local PC time
into my signatures?
Signatures use the system's configured timezone. On Unix/Linux you can
generally
set this by changing the TZ environment variable in LocalSettings.php, for
instance:
putenv("TZ=Europe/Berlin");
A sitewide default timezone is used here rather than the individual user's
preference or local version to keep things consistent. If you have a page
full
of signatures, and they're all in different timezones, it's pretty hard to
mentally keep track of what was before what.
