Find your php.ini file location and edit it like this:-

  1. Find date.timezone and set it to your local timezone name as used in php.
  2. Find date.default_latitude and set it to your server location's latitude.
  3. Find date.default_longitude and set it to your server location's longitude.

For longitude / latitude, google it with your city name.

IMPORTANT NOTE : After you edit this information, save the php.ini file and close it. Then RESTART your server. Without restarting, you might not be able to see the changes.

<?php
$time_now=mktime(date('h'),date('i'),date('s'));
print date('h.i A',$time_now);
?>

Like this:

echo date('g.i A');

Check the PHP date() reference. date() takes an optional second argument which you can use to set a custom timestamp. Without this argument, date() returns the current time.
