PHP adjust time zone for date

Question

The following output on my website is -1 hr, and I just wanted a quick fix to adjust it accordingly, but I\'m not sure of the correct syntax...

Answer 1

set default time zone

$timezone = 'America/Los_Angeles';
$stored_time = '2011-01-30 18:23:49';

date_default_timezone_set($timezone);
$timestamp = strtotime($stored_time);
$local_time = $timestamp + date('Z');
$local_date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $local_time);

echo $local_date;

Answer 2

Use the date_default_timezone_set function of PHP to set the your timezone as default it is taking the timezone of server.
