How to turn UTC+6 into local time in PHP

i have a table with several timezones but just saved as string like "UTC+1" or "UTC-6" etc

how do i put that through the DateTime function to get what the time would be now in that zone

is it even possible?

am i close with this?:

$localtime = new DateTime("now", "UTC+6");

thanks

You should use date_default_timezone_set like so:

date_default_timezone_set(UTC+6 TIMZONE HERE);
