<?php

$Date = date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
echo  "<h3>Your Timezone is Asia/Kolkata</h3>";
//If you want Day,Date with time AM/PM
echo $datetoday = "<b>Date Today: </b>". date("F j, Y, g:i a T") ."</br>";

//To the Current Time 00:00 AM / PM 
echo $datetoday ="<b>Time Today:</b> ". date("g:i a");

?>
