How do you change the timezone in PHP for an existing timestamp?

Not sure if this what you're looking for, but try DateTime
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
$datetime = new DateTime();
$datetime->setTimestamp($yourTimestamp);
echo $datetime->getTimezone()->getName();
echo $datetime->format(DATE_ATOM);
$la_time = new DateTimeZone('America/Los_Angeles');
$datetime->setTimezone($la_time);
echo $datetime->getTimezone()->getName();
echo $datetime->format(DATE_ATOM);

The code for the date and time function:
function date_and_time($format,$timestamp) { $date_and_time = date($format,$timestamp); return $date_and_time; }
And then the code to display it:
<?php echo date_and_time("dS F Y", strtotime($profile[last_activity_date_and_time])); ?>
The value of $profile[last_activity_date_and_time] is 2010-01-18 14:34:04
When displayed it shows up as 18th January 2010 - 02:34pm
But, is there any way to change the timezone it is displayed in?
