How to get exact ist time in php?

Question

In php, I used a date function (for example: date('Ymd hm-s') ), it does not display the current time. Please help me...

Answer 1

Update:

Here's how you can set the time zone for your region:

 if (function_exists('date_default_timezone_set')) { date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Mumbai'); }

It should work fine. Also note that you did not specify the minutes correctly. Use i for minutes not m :

 date('Ymd hi-s') 

And make sure echo it:

 echo date('Ymd hi-s'); 

Answer 2

Do you want Indian time. This is my decision. You can use either Asia/Calcutta or Asia/Kolkata . both will be returning at the same time.

 date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Calcutta'); echo date('Ymd hi-s'); 

It worked for me. Try it ...

Answer 3

 if (function_exists('date_default_timezone_set')) { date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Calcutta'); } 

Answer 4

change timezone according to ur need and then try

 date('-r') 

Answer 5

You can try the following:

 date('Ymd hi-s',strtotime('+330 minute')); // where +330 min (difference of indian time zone with gmt) 

Answer 6

 date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata'); // this sets time zone to IST echo date_format(new DateTime(),'d MYH:i:s'); // this gives you date and time 

Answer 7

 date_default_timezone_set('Asia/kathmandu'); echo date('Ymd hi-s'); 

That should work. You can see your time zone at http://www.worldtimezone.com .
