I’m trying to return the timestamp of my city.

When I use the instruction ('Y-m-d H:i:s') it returns the right time of my region but I need to return the timestamp of that hour and it seems that with the instruction ('U') I only get the server time and not the timestamp of the hour of my region.

function agora (){
    date_default_timezone_set("America/Campo_Grande");
    $dftz011 = date_default_timezone_get();
    $dtms011 = new DateTime();
    return $dtms011->format('U'); 
}

I’m using this tool to convert the timestamp returned and when I do the conversion always return me the time of the server and not the Timezone of my region.

How to return the timestamp of my region?

php datetime

  • Even echo $dtms011->format('H:i:s'); does not return the right time?

  • This returns the right time. With ('U') does not return.

To get the timestamp converted with Timezone, add timestamp with offset (difference in greenwitch realation in seconds). Use methods getTimestamp() and getOffset() of the Datetime class.

<?php
$data = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone("America/Sao_Paulo"));
echo 'TimeStamp: '. ($data->getTimestamp() + $data->getOffset());

Output: 1444269422, corresponds to: Thu, 08 Oct 2015 01:57:02 GMT
