No need to use date default timezone set for the whole script  just specify the timezone you want with a DateTime object    now   new DateTime null  new DateTimeZone  America New York      now- gt setTimezone new DateTimeZone  Europe London           Another way echo  now- gt format  Y-m-d TH i sO       something like  2015-02-11T06 16 47 0100   ISO 8601

You can use the  system  string  command   int  amp  return var      string  function  For Windows system   time      system   time   output txt     to put the response in the output txt file  If you plan on deploying your website on someone else s server  then you may not want to hardcode the server time  as the server may move to an unknown timezone  Then it may be best to set the default time zone in the php ini file  I use Hostinger and they allow you to configure that php ini value
