PHP get UK local time from Server in different time zone
19,826
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;

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.
