Magento2 not getting current time

Question

I have tried different options but i am not getting the current time, time shows the gmt time, but actual time setting is asia/kolkatta, any one done this, please update the answer.

protected $datetime;

public function __construct(Context $context,
        ObjectManagerInterface $objectManager,
        StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
        \Magento\Framework\Stdlib\DateTime\DateTime $datetime
    ) {
        $this->objectManager = $objectManager;
        $this->storeManager  = $storeManager;
        $this->datetime      = $datetime;
        parent::__construct($context);
    }
$current_time   = $this->datetime->gmtDate();// this will return only gmt time

Not the time i have set in the admin configuration locale timezone.

Answer 1

    $objDate = $objectManager->create('Magento\Framework\Stdlib\DateTime\Timezone');
    $currentTime = $objDate->formatDatetime(date("Y-m-d H:i:s"));
    $currentTimestamp = strtotime($objDate->formatDatetime(date("Y-m-d H:i:s")));//timestamp

Answer 2

Instead of below line:

\Magento\Framework\Stdlib\DateTime\DateTime $datetime

**Try to use this : **

 \Magento\Framework\Stdlib\DateTime\TimezoneInterface::formatDate(); 

(by injecting dependency to construct)

Answer 3

You can try with format date as below:

public function __construct(Context $context,
        ObjectManagerInterface $objectManager,
        StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
        \Magento\Framework\Stdlib\DateTime\DateTime \TimezoneInterface $datetime
    ) {

        $this->objectManager = $objectManager;
        $this->storeManager  = $storeManager;
        $this->datetime      = $datetime;
        parent::__construct($context);
    }

$current_time   = $this->datetime->date()->format('Y-m-d');

Answer 4

Please try this, here you need to change 'Asia/Kolkata' as per you need zone.

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
$date_value = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Framework\Stdlib\DateTime\TimezoneInterface');
$today = $date_value->date()->format('m/d/y H:i:s');
$dateTimeAsTimeZone = $date_value->date(new \DateTime($today))->format('m/d/y H:i:s');

Hope it works!
