You can put the following code somewhere in your PHP file:

date_default_timezone_set('UTC');

Change the UTC to your liking, obviously. I found that information (there's a lot more if you're interesting) here.

Okay, sorry about that - I've found a way... tested it out.For me, I used this:

<?putenv("TZ=US/Pacific");echo date("H:i");?>

Here's a list of the country codes (what you would replace US/Pacific with): http://www.theprojects.org/dev/zone.txtMake sure that line is at the top of your file if you want all of the times changed.
