 * When I echo the time, it shows UTC time, when I select my area that I live in,
   it still displays UTC time.
 * How can I get it to display local time using php echo date?

 *     ```
       <?php
       // set the default timezone to use. Available since PHP 5.1
       date_default_timezone_set('EDT');
   
       // Prints something like: Monday 8th of August 2005 03:12:46 PM
       echo date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A');
   
       ?>
       ```
   
 * obviously, change EDT to your timezone….. and change the formatting to your liking…
