根据PHP中的当前时区，日期时间不准确

Question

I need to set timezone in my laravel project but it's not giving exact same time. There is a difference in current time (checking via google) and the time my code is showing. My code is below:

date_default_timezone_set($generalSettings[0]->timeZone);
// $generalSettings[0]->timeZone = "America/Denver"
echo date("Y-m-d h:m:s");
exit;

It's showing "2016-12-21 01:12:05" while current time in "Time in Denver, CO, USA" 1:40 A.M. What I'm missing here that should display exactly same date time. Thanks!

Answer 1

You have to set your default timezone php function, so if yours is Denver you have something like :

date_default_timezone_set('America/Denver');
$date = date('m/d/Y h:i:s a', time());
echo $date;

Hope it helps you, anyway check it out :

Edit : If you want it on server have to work on : php.ini
