How to Set Timezone using PHP

DateTimeZone is the representation of time zone. You can change the timezone using this function.

For example, If you want Indian time zone, use “Asia/Kolkata”.

$dtz = new DateTimeZone("Asia/Kolkata"); //Your timezone
$now = new DateTime(date("Y-m-d"), $dtz);
echo $now->format("Y-m-d H:i:s");

Use this function date_default_timezone_get() to know the default timezone of your server.

$timezone = date_default_timezone_get();
echo "The current server timezone is: " . $timezone;

OUTPUT: The current server timezone is: Europe/Paris
