Use the DateTime Class
$time = time(); //Get the current time
$date = new DateTime($time, new DateTimeZone('Pacific/Nauru')); //Set a time zone
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:sP') . "n"; //display date
$date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('Europe/London')); //set another timezone
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:sP') . "n"; //display data again
This, way you don’t have to give the same timestamp as new argument every time like mishu’s answer.
