title: How to update the timezone for the timestamps (created_at and updated_at) managed by Laravel Eloquent?
body: <p>I have a server in GMT but I want to update those fields ( *created_at* and *updated_at* ) to save timestamps in PST.</p>
  
  <p>I've already did some tests trying to accomplish this but none of them were correct.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I update the <strong>config/application.php</strong> to <strong>'timezone' => 'America/Los_Angeles'</strong></li>
  <li>Also in the server I've change the <strong>date.timezone</strong> in <strong>php.ini</strong> to <strong>'America/Los_Angeles'</strong></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>But any of this updates apply timezone update to the Laravel Eloquent timestamps. This fields created_at and updated_at are handle by Eloquent. </p>
  
  <p>I've also update the Ubuntu server timezone using <strong>sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata</strong> but this update didn't work at all.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I need to have the Laravel Eloquent timestamps working on PST timezone for futures inserts to the DB.</p>
  
  <p>Any help will be useful. Thanks.</p>
