Question

I use the date() function to get day, month and year.

$year = date(y);
$month  = date(m);
$day = date(d);

But my hosting is in another place where I am, so I need to add 11 hours.
could you tell me how can I do that?
thanks

Answer 1

Either do

date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+11 hours'));

to add 11 hours or create a DateTime object and change it’s timezone where needed

$datetime = new DateTime; // current time = server time
$otherTZ  = new DateTimeZone('America/Los_Angeles');
$datetime->setTimezone($otherTZ); // calculates with new TZ now

or simply set the appropriate timezone with

• date_default_timezone_set — Sets the default timezone used by all date/time functions in a script
