Toky API endpoints like CDRs returns data in GTM timezone, so you could need to convert the date to your desired timezone. The following function could help you to convert a datetime variable from one timezone to another.
<?php
function changeTimeZone($dateString, $timeZoneSource = null, $timeZoneTarget = null)
?>- $dateString: Date in format "Y-m-d H:i:s" like 2019-10-30 20:00:00
- $timeZoneSource: timezone for the date to convert, for Toky all the dates are in "GMT"
- $timeZoneTarget your desired timezone.
Example
For converting the date 2019-10-30 20:00:00 from GMT to America/New_York you can use the function:
changeTimeZone("2019-10-30 20:00:00", "GMT", "America/New_York")
This is the implementation and sample code for the function:
<?php
//Timezone conversion function
function changeTimeZone($dateString, $timeZoneSource = null, $timeZoneTarget = null)
{
//Check valid source timezone
try{
new DateTimeZone($timeZoneSource);
} catch(Exception $e){
$timeZoneSource = date_default_timezone_get();
}
//Check valid target timezone
try{
new DateTimeZone($timeZoneTarget);
} catch(Exception $e){
$timeZoneTarget = date_default_timezone_get();
}
//Execute conversion
$dt = new DateTime($dateString, new DateTimeZone($timeZoneSource));
$dt->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone($timeZoneTarget));
return $dt->format("Y-m-d H:i:s");
}
//Sample data
$dt= new DateTime("2019-10-30 20:00:00");//->format("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$initialDate= $dt->format("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$convertedDate = changeTimeZone($dt->format("Y-m-d H:i:s"),"GMT","America/New_York");
echo "Initial date: $initialDate in GMT timezone";
echo "<br/>";
echo "Converted date: $convertedDate in America/New_York";
?>
