convert system time to IST time

[sandy1028]

Please tell me how to convert system time (PST) to IST.

 

$ date

Mon Jun 13 22:11:53 PDT 2011

In PHP you can do this with the datetime object.  datetime

This shows you how to do it (change from one timezone to another) once you created the datetime object with a PST timezone: http://us.php.net/manual/en/datetime.settimezone.php

When the time in PST is:  Mon Jun 13 23:19:24 PDT 2011

IST time is  : Tue Jun 14 11:49:24 IST 2011

 

 

$date = new DateTime('2011-06-13 23:17:08', new DateTimeZone('Asia/Calcutta'));
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') . "\n";

$date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('Pacific/Nauru'));
//$date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('Pacific/Nauru'));
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') . "\n";

 

 

But this will not output the proper result

You make the dateTime with the timezone for that matches the current time.  Then you set the timezone to IST and display it.
