如何以PHP为时区返回PHP的当前时间？

Question

I have to set up a time command for my friend (using twitch's nightbot) and can't figure out how to print the current time.

I've tried using this:

<?php
$date = date_create(null, timezone_open('America/Los_Angeles'));
$tz = date_timezone_get($date);
echo date(" H:i", time());
?>

This however returns the current server time (I'm fairly certain) instead of the timezone I selected.

I've used several different things but none of them work. They either display nothing, or display the wrong time.

Try using the DateTime() class - http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.construct.php

$date = new DateTime(null, new DateTimeZone('America/Los_Angeles'));
echo $date->format('H:i');

note the null - from the docs :: Enter NULL here to obtain the current time when using the $timezone parameter.
