Just set input timezone, and output timezone:

$dt = new DateTime('2014-09-15 14:48:00', new DateTimezone('America/Toronto'));
$dt->setTimeZone(new DateTimezone('UTC'));
echo $dt->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Whenever you want to specify the time into a specific time zone or state... Use date_default_timezone_set()...

E.g:

date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
