UTC datetime conversion to local datetime using PHP. How?

Question

Using the following code I'm getting the output as mentioned below.

echo $date = new date('c', strtotime('2017-03-14T22:30:00.000Z'));

Current Output: 2017-03-15T04:30:00+06:00

Expected Output: 2017-03-15 10:30:00 AM

How could I do it using PHP?

Edit your php.ini file, then change / add following date.timezone directive: date.timezone = "Asia/Dhaka" then restart php service — Gravy

Please try this: echo $date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s A', strtotime('2017-03-14T22:30:00.000Z'));

This is working, but I also need to add +6 hours to adjust my local time and it will become 2017-03-15 10:30:00 AM . My timezone is Asia/Dhaka. Can you please suggest me to make as I expected?

I would suggest to use DateTime

$d = new DateTime('2017-03-14T22:30:00.000Z');
echo $d->format('Y-m-d H:m:s');
//2017-03-14 22:03:00

$d->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('Asia/Dhaka'));
echo $d->format('Y-m-d H:m:s');
//2017-03-15 04:03:00

Also, it seems to me that Asia/Dhaka is in fact UTC+6 so what you are after would be 2017-03-15T04:30:00, not 2017-03-15T10:30:00 (here the offset would be 12 hours)?
