It is correct, it showed 10:02:00 hrs, just happen to be the same as 12 hour format. You can verify the current date time by entering out 'Etc/GMT+6' at timezoneconverter.com[^]. At this moment, it show Fri 6-Jun-2014 11:09 A.M.

You will have to wait for 12 hours from now. The date("H:i:s") returns the current time of the timezone in 24 hours format.

PHP

$timezone  = +6; //(GMT +6:00)
echo gmdate("H:i:s", time() + 3600*($timezone+date("I")));
