How can PHP handle UTC timezones and display them in a specific timezone, such as UTC +02:00 for German time?

To handle UTC timezones in PHP and display them in a specific timezone like UTC +02:00 for German time, you can use the DateTime class along with DateTimeZone class. You can create a DateTime object with the UTC timezone, then set the desired timezone using DateTimeZone class, and finally format the output as needed. 

// Create a DateTime object with UTC timezone
$utcTime = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('UTC'));

// Set the desired timezone (UTC +02:00 for German time)
$germanTimezone = new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin');
$utcTime->setTimezone($germanTimezone);

// Format the output as needed
echo $utcTime->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
