I am converting this time and date:
Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:05:59 GMT
To the following time and date format:
Monday March 28 2011 4:48:02 PM
I am using the following PHP code to accomplish this, but I want to convert all time zones to PST/PDT. I looked at the PHP manual and saw this date_default_timezone_set()
but I am not sure how to implement that into the code I have below.
$date = $messages[0]->CreationTime;
echo date('l F j Y g:i:s A I', strtotime($date))

I would not use date_default_timezone_set
for general TZ conversions. (To clarify... if this is for display purposes, script wide, then using the default timezone is a reasonable thing to do.)
Instead, I would use something like:
$tz = new DateTimeZone('America/Los_Angeles');
$date = new DateTime('Thu, 31 Mar 2011 02:05:59 GMT');
$date->setTimezone($tz);
echo $date->format('l F j Y g:i:s A I')."\n";
