DateTime in php with timezone

问题

I have a question. I try to use datetime in php. I did :

$now = new \DateTime();

When I print_r the $now I have :

DateTime Object
(
  [date] => 2016-12-01 05:55:01
  [timezone_type] => 3
  [timezone] => Europe/Helsinki
)

When I look at clock I have 16:05. I need to set the timezone ? I want to use Bucharest timezone. How I can get the right date and hour ? Thx in advance

回答1:

You have two ways to set right timezone. It is object way and procedural way.

Examples

Object

$datetime = new DateTime();
$timezone = new DateTimeZone('Europe/Bucharest');
$datetime->setTimezone($timezone);
echo $datetime->format('F d, Y H:i');

Procedural

date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Bucharest");
$date = date('F d, Y H:i');
echo $date;

Manuals

PHP: date
PHP: DateTime
PHP: DateTimeZone

Update

Check code below, may it will work for you:

<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
$datetime = new DateTime();
$timezone = new DateTimeZone('Europe/Bucharest');
$datetime->setTimezone($timezone);
echo $datetime->format('F d, Y H:i');
?>

回答2:

There are examples in the manual, you can set the timezone on the instantiation of the DateTime class like this

$now = new \DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Bucharest'));

回答3:

put this line of code above your script:

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Bucharest');

回答4:

You can use setTimezone() method of DateTime class to set the timezone to Europe/Bucharest, like this:

$now = new \DateTime();
$now->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('Europe/Bucharest'));
