converting a time to a different timezone with php

Question

$timeposted = \"7:10pm\";

This value is currently Canada time (quebec). I\'m trying to find a way to convert it to France\'s time. How can i do that ?

Answer 1

Use the date_default_timezone_set() function of PHP.

If you want to change it to France you would use the

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Paris');

a list of Supported Timezones can be found here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

The functionality of date_default_timezone_set() can be found here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php
