Set timezone in php ( php wrong time displayed )

Hi,

While working on a Web portal , I came across this simple problem.

I wanted to get current Time , and we use date() function to display this.
But it was showing wrong time , simply because we must set default time zone,  and then we can try to use this date() function.

PHP Code :




//setting up timezone
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Calcutta');


//use date() to display current time as follow


$curtime = date("H:i:s");


//Now you can use this variable to print true current date


?>


Ex.    12:2:00  


To split above string into we use   $split =  explode(":",$curtime)
$split  is now array containing values:

split[0] = 12
split[1] = 2
split[2] = 00
