How to get date using timezone saved in options?

3 Views

This code does not work correctly and returns time using timezone from computer and ignoring timezone stored in WordPress options: 

date_default_timezone_set( get_option( 'timezone_string' ) );
$hours = date( 'H', strtotime( $timestamp ) );
date_default_timezone_set(@date_default_timezone_get());

WordPress saves timezone in options section but ‘timezone_string’ option in wp_options table is empty. Also the code generates warnings.

  1. I use this:

    $mytheme_timezone = get_option('timezone_string');
    date_default_timezone_set($mytheme_timezone);

    in my themes functions.php. For me this has worked without any warnings.

    I’ve also tested whether my script is in different timezone than php.ini:

     if (strcmp($mytheme_timezone, ini_get('date.timezone'))){
 echo 'Script timezone differs from ini-set timezone.';
}
else {
 echo 'Script timezone and ini-set timezone match.';
}

    Please improve this answer if you have more insight.
