\nSo, in order to get a correct time as per my location, I will use this code which will save the difference in a\u00a0cookie and then we can easily make use of that difference saved in the cookie to show time as per a user.<\/p>\n
<?php\r\n$myDate = Date(\"Y-m-d H:i:s\");\r\necho 'PHP Time : '.$myDate;\r\n\r\necho '<script>\r\n createCookie(\"time_diff\"); \/\/ calling the createCookie() function and saving the difference in \"time_diff\" variable\r\n\r\n function createCookie(name) {\r\n\tvar rightNow = new Date();\r\n\tvar jan1 = new Date(rightNow.getFullYear(), 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);\r\n\tvar temp = jan1.toGMTString();\r\n\tvar jan2 = new Date(temp.substring(0, temp.lastIndexOf(\" \")-1)); \/\/ manages the daylight hours saving\r\n\tvar std_time_offset = (jan1 - jan2) \/ (1000 * 60 * 60);\r\n \tdocument.cookie = escape(name) + \"=\" + std_time_offset + \"; path=\/\";\r\n }\r\n<\/script>';\r\n\r\nif (isset($_COOKIE['time_diff'])) {\r\n\techo \"<br>\";\r\n\techo 'Time difference : '.$_COOKIE['time_diff'];\r\n\t$time_diff = $_COOKIE['time_diff'] * 3600;\r\n}\r\n$date = strtotime($myDate);\r\n\r\nif (isset($time_diff) && $time_diff) {\t\t\t\r\n\t$date = $date + $time_diff;\r\n}\r\n\r\n$newDate = date('Y\/m\/d H:i:s', $date);\r\necho \"<br>\";\r\necho 'Converted Time : '.$newDate;\r\n?><\/pre>\nThe output of the above code will be:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
So, as per my location “India”, I’m able to get a time difference of +5.5.<\/p>\n
PS: The time difference mustn’t be saved in the cookie on the same page as it may give an error on using the cookie on the same page. The cookie must be saved a bit earlier than calculating the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
