title: PHP: Get current date in EST timezone considering DayLightSaving Time
body: <p>I have tried this code to get the current date in EST timezone, </p>
  
  <pre><code>$currentDate=date("Y-m-d h:i A");
  $timezone='EST';
  date_default_timezone_set($timezone);
  $storedate=date("Y-m-d h:i A");
  echo $currentDate."  ===  ".$storedate."&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the storedate displays 1 hr late datetime. I think this is because of the daylight saving time.
  Please provide me the best way to get current date in EST timezone considering Daylight saving time.</p>
