How to get current date and time in php

Thanks in advance. Actually i was using date('Y-m-d h:i:s', time()) and date("Y-m-d H:i:s") to get the current date and time in php but it's not showing the proper time. Instead of showing proper Indian time it's showing some other time My code is:

$today = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
echo "Current date and time is ".$today;

Try this, use date_default_timezone_set (Asia/Kolkata)

date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Kolkata");
$today = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
echo "Current date and time is ".$today;

You need to use date_default_timezone_set for set the specific time zone as:

if (function_exists('date_default_timezone_set'))
{
    date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Mumbai'); // will set the mumbai timezone.
    echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
}

You can use date_default_timezone_set for set Indian time:

    date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata'); //Indian time.
    echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
