Timezone conversion in php

Question

Can anyone suggest an easy method to convert date and time to different timezones in php?

Answer 1

DateTime::setTimezone -- date_timezone_set — Sets the time zone for the DateTime object

Object oriented style

format('Y-m-d H:i:sP') . "\n";

$date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('Pacific/Chatham'));
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:sP') . "\n";
?>

Procedural style

The above examples will output:

2000-01-01 00:00:00+12:00
2000-01-01 01:45:00+13:45
