Convert UTC dates to local time in PHP

Question

I\'m storing the UTC dates into the DB using:

$utc = gmdate(\"M d Y h:i:s A\");

and then I want to convert the saved UTC date to the client

Answer 1

$UTC_Time   = "2018-07-06 06:06:16";
echo "UTC Time ".$UTC_Time;
$Indian_Time = TimeConverion($UTC_Time);
echo "
 Indian_Time ".$Indian_Time;

function TimeConverion($UTC_Time) {
  date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
  $sTime = date("Y-m-d h:i:sa");
  $ts3 = strtotime(date("G:i:s"))-strtotime($sTime); 
  $utc = explode(" ",$UTC_Time);
  $time = strtotime($utc[1]);
  date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Calcutta");
  $time += $ts3;  // Add the difference
  return $utc[0]." ".date("H:i:s", $time);
}
