Get Current Time With given Timezone offset

I have time zone offset in my database field. and I need to compare (created_date + time zone offset) with (current date + time zone offset). 

DATE(created_date + INTERVAL timezone_offset SECOND)

i know how to add time zone in created date field. but i have to add time zone with date("Y-m-d H:i:s).

I need the following in mysql query,

DATE("use php date function to get current date and time" + INTERVAL timezone_offset SECOND)

SQL Query Sample:

SELECT * FROM `admin` AS `A`
  INNER JOIN `timezones` AS `T` ON `T`.`admin_id`=`A`.`admin_id`
  WHERE (DATE(A.current_date + INTERVAL T.timezone_offset SECOND) != DATE('current    datetime by php function ' + INTERVAL T.timezone_offset SECOND)))

Please help.

You can use date("Y-m-d H:i:s) function in you sql Query as following.

"SELECT * FROM `admin` AS `A`
   INNER JOIN `timezones` AS `T` ON `T`.`admin_id`=`A`.`admin_id`
    WHERE (DATE(A.current_date + INTERVAL T.timezone_offset SECOND) != DATE('".date("Y-m-d H:i:s")."' + INTERVAL T.timezone_offset SECOND)));"

You just have to add date("Y-m-d H:i:s") function in Sql Query.

If your MySQL instance has the timezone tables loaded (see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/time-zone-support.html), then you can use the very convenient CONVERT_TZ function.

CONVERT_TZ(created_date, {time zone name that created_date is created in}, {time zone name you want})

I use it all the time and it is very handy.
