Change Timezone in 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-&gt;format("Y-m-d H:i:s");

$dtz = new DateTimeZone("Asia/Kolkata"); //Your timezone

$now = new DateTime(date("Y-m-d"), $dtz);

echo $now->format("Y-m-d H:i:s");
