How to Set IST in PHP

To set IST (Indian Standard Time) in PHP, you can use the date_default_timezone_set() function. Here’s an example:

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');

This sets the default timezone to Asia/Kolkata, which is the timezone for India.

You can also use the DateTimeZone class to create a DateTimeZone object with the timezone you want, and then pass it to the DateTime constructor to create a DateTime object with the timezone set. Here’s an example:

$timezone = new DateTimeZone('Asia/Kolkata');
$date = new DateTime('now', $timezone);

This creates a DateTime object with the current date and time, and sets the timezone to Asia/Kolkata.

Note that it’s important to set the timezone correctly to ensure that your PHP application displays dates and times in the correct timezone.
