Take a look at the DateTime and DateTimeZone objects.

<?php
$date = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('Europe/London'));

echo $date->format('r e'); // Sun, 14 Apr 2013 10:24:55 +0100 Europe/London

$date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('America/New_York'));

echo $date->format('r e'); // Sun, 14 Apr 2013 05:26:08 -0400 America/New_York

  • +1 I'll just add that according to a comment on the [manual pages](http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.indian.php) India itself is handled by the `Asia/Calcutta` timezone - you may be forgiven for thinking it would be somewhere in the `Indian/*` branch... – Emissary Apr 14 '13 at 09:34

Use date_default_timezone_set: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php

  • @KrishnaKishore You can: change timezone, calculate the date (Will give it in the timezone you set), and then go back to the old timezone if you want. – alxgb Apr 15 '13 at 05:35
