Why is the current time obtained by php inaccurate?

PHP date() obtains the system time incorrectly

Using PHP to obtain the system time, I find that the time is incorrect because the default time zone of PHP is UTC, and its time zone should be set to Beijing time .

Method 1: Modify the php.ini file

Open the php.ini file: left-click the WampServer icon in the lower right corner - PHP - php.ini,

Search for date.timezone, find date.timezone="UTC",

Change it to date.timezone="PRC", if there is a semicolon on the left side of date.timezone, remove the semicolon.

<span class="cur_time"><?php echo "当前时间：" . date("Y-m-d H:i:s") ?></span>

Method 2: Use the date_default_timezone_set(”) method;

<?php
date_default_timezone_set(&#39;PRC&#39;); 
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
?>
