How to get Beijing time in php (a brief analysis of the method)

In PHP, we can use the date() function to get the current server time. But if we need to get the time in a specific time zone, we need to use the DateTime class.

Before getting Beijing time, we need to set the time zone to East Eighth District, that is, the "Asia/Shanghai" time zone. You can use the date_default_timezone_set() function or ini_set() function to set the time zone.

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Shanghai');

or

ini_set('date.timezone', 'Asia/Shanghai');

Next, we can use the DateTime class to get the Beijing time. First, you need to create a DateTime object and specify the time zone as "Asia/Shanghai". The time string can then be formatted using the format() method.

$bj_time = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('Asia/Shanghai'));
$bj_time_str = $bj_time->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
echo $bj_time_str; //输出当前北京时间

The complete code is as follows:

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Shanghai');
$bj_time = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('Asia/Shanghai'));
$bj_time_str = $bj_time->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
echo $bj_time_str;

Using the above method, you can easily obtain Beijing time.
