make date（）返回特定于时区的日期/时间，而不使用date_default_timezone_set（）

Question

Is there a way to use the date() function and have it return the a specific Timezone's current date, and not the server date?

I understand I can use:

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Tokyo');
date('j F Y');

however, I am doing this in the context of a large application, and doing the date_default_timezone_set() might make the other date operations in the rest of the script behave differently.

Use the DateTime class instead, it allows you to specify the timezone on creation (default is UTC), or by using setTimezone() to change the rendering timezone.
