使用PHP将Unix时间转换为GMT日期时间

Question

I use Instagram API and there is one important field there, created_time. And those are in Unix timestamp format. I convert it to datetime with date('Ymd H:i:s',$insta_date); (PHP) And it gives me normal datetime with GMT+0. But i want it with GMT+3. Is there any shortest way to get GMT+N datetime from Unix timestamp?

Answer 1

You can change the time to different timezone. The PHP function is:

date_default_timezone_set()

More info: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php

Answer 2

You can use gmdate to get Greenwich Mean Time, and then add offset:

$offset = 3*60*60;    // +3 hours
gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', $insta_date+$offset)

You can also use date to format a local time/date, if date_default_timezone_set is correct.
