date() function returns wrong time

[mhd_arif123]

I think it is unusual but i dont know to fix it.  when my computer clock shows 16: 13 hours , date() reuturns 10:43:16 . My systems time zone is +5.30 GMT.

how does date() subtracts 5.30 hrs from the system time?

You can use date_default_timezone_set to switch between timezones. Pass the timezone information. If you are using PHP 5>=5.2, please use the more advanced DateTime class.

 

example

<?php

echo date('h:i:s')."\n";

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Paris');

echo date('h:i:s')."\n";

date_Default_timezone_set('UTC');

echo date('h:i:s')."\n";
