I'm assuming you got the PHP code to work to show the date (even if it's 
the wrong timezone for you).

If you have stored the date in a variable $lastmodified then you could 
use the following code to adjust it:

$date = date_create($lastmodified, timezone_open('Pacific/Nauru'));
echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d H:i:sP');

Just use a valid timezone name to replace the Pacific/Nauru. Keep in 
mind that the time may look off for other users who do not live in the 
timezone you want to display.

For more information about datetime and timezone check the following 
page at php.net:
