PHP get UK local time from Server in different time zone
date, php, time, timezone
Solution
Don't use gmdate("d-m-Y H:i:s") here because it returns GMT. Instead use date("d-m-Y H:i:s"). Try this -
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
$sTime = date("d-m-Y H:i:s");
print 'The time is: ' . $sTime;
Problem
I have a web server which I do not know what the time zone is set to. it is now 10:49am in the UK, but when I run the following: ``` $sTime = gmdate("d-m-Y H:i:s"); print 'The time is: ' . $sTime; ``` The server returns the following time. ``` The time is: 24-06-2012 09:49:57 ``` Now I don't want to just "Add" one hour onto the time because the time still needs to be correct when time moves forward 1hr or back 1 hr. Is there a way to get the ACTUAL time for LONDON? FYI - I have also tried the following without any luck: ``` date_timezone_set('Europe/London'); $sTime = gmdate("d-m-Y H:i:s"); print 'The time is: ' . $sTime; ``` Many thanks in advance.
