Timezone Difference in Custom Report Magento
I am creating my own report in Magento. My server is in the US and my store is Brazilian. It turns out that buy charts are saved in the US chart, i.e. 3 hours ahead of Brazil. And that makes a difference in the report results.
Imagine the following situation: a customer makes a purchase on 06/30 at 10:00 (Brazilian time), in the database this purchase arrives as 07/01 at 01:00.
How do you pick the order creation time (GMT USA) and turn clockwise from Brazil?
I am using this today.
$to="";
$from="";
$show_order_statuses = 0;
$orserstatus = "";
$result_order = 0;
if(!empty($_REQUEST['from']) && !empty($_REQUEST['to'])){
$orders_row = array();
date_default_timezone_set('America/Sao_Paulo'); //define o timezone como Sãp Paulo
$filter_type = $_REQUEST['filter_type'];
$from = $_REQUEST['from'];
$to = $_REQUEST['to'];
$from_date = date('Y-m-d' . ' 00:00:00', strtotime($from));
$to_date = date('Y-m-d' . ' 23:59:59', strtotime($to));
$filter_model = ($filter_type == 'shipping_date')
? 'sales/order_shipment_collection'
: 'sales/order_collection';
if($_REQUEST['show_order_statuses']>0){
$orserstatus = $_REQUEST['order_statuses'];
$_orderCollections = Mage::getResourceModel($filter_model);
$_orderCollections->addAttributeToSelect('*');
$_orderCollections->addFieldToFilter('created_at', array('from'=>$from_date, 'to'=>$to_date));
if($filter_type == 'order_date'){
$_orderCollections->addFieldToFilter('status', $orserstatus);
}
$_orderCollections->setOrder('created_at', 'desc');
$_orderCollections->load();
}else{
$_orderCollections = Mage::getResourceModel($filter_model)
->addAttributeToSelect('*')
->addFieldToFilter('created_at', array('from'=>$from_date, 'to'=>$to_date))
->setOrder('created_at', 'desc')
->load();
}
Anyone who can help, thanks

You should always use Magento core date function to keep track of time zones.
So instead of:
$from_date = date( 'Y-m-d' . ' 00:00:00', strtotime( $from ) );
Using:
$from_date = Mage::getModel( 'core/date' )->date( 'Y-m-d 00:00:00', strtotime( $from ) );
This will give you a date based on the timezone that you set in your store configuration in admin.
