Time zone in wamp

Question

I am using wamp in window 8 and in this i am using the time zone Asia/Calcutta but the problem is that when i tried to get the current date and time then it gives me one day after date for ex: today is 28 june it gives me 29 june i check that my default time zone is Asia/Calcutta

Code is

$currentDate = strtotime("now");    
$starttime=date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $currentDate);

Then it gives me the out put: 2014-06-29 04:17:02

I am not able to get this and i have also changed the php.in

I have added in the wamp >> php >> php.in >> date.timezone = Asia/Calcutta; And i tried on linux it work fine but in window its not working — Shubham Shrivastava, Jun 28 '14 at 10:40
What version of WAMP are you using? Have a read of this and see if anything works: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5753699/wrong-php-date-output-in-wamp-server — Kinnectus, Jun 28 '14 at 10:42
Still, does explicitly stating the timezone using DateTimeZone or in your script using ini_set give you the correct result? — Rangad, Jun 28 '14 at 10:45
I got this result C:\Users\Technicus Shubham>date /T && time /T && tzutil /g Sat 06/28/2014 04:31 PM Pacific Standard Time — Shubham Shrivastava, Jun 28 '14 at 11:04
Have you tried changeing the timezone to `Asia/Kolkata`? `Asia/Calcutta`seems to be obsolete by some comments — Rangad, Jun 28 '14 at 11:04
no it is not working @Rangad i have changed the same in my php.in and — Shubham Shrivastava, Jun 28 '14 at 11:10
Well, was my best guess since the timezone identifier is not present in PHP 5.3 or later anymore: http://3v4l.org/nhZZ0 — Rangad, Jun 28 '14 at 11:11
There are two php.ini configuration files, one for Apache, and one for the CLI (command-line interface). Make sure you have configured the one that you are using. — faintsignal, Jun 28 '14 at 12:47

Open your php.ini with maybe notepad++, sublime text...
Add this line to the file: date.timezone = "X" Where X is the your time-zone of wish. Get a list of supported timezones here: http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

... That should do it.

You should use DateTime class instead

$now = new DateTime();
echo $now->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

The printed date will be in the default timezone, based on php.ini or system default. To set a specific timezone, do this:

$now->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('Asia/Calcutta'));
echo $now->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
