To format time based on different time zones in PHP, you can use the DateTime class along with DateTimeZone class. You can create a DateTime object with the desired time and then set the timezone using DateTimeZone. Finally, you can format the time using the format() method. 

// Set the default timezone
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');

// Create a DateTime object with the current time
$date = new DateTime('now');

// Set the desired timezone
$date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('America/New_York'));

// Format the time
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
