Retrieving the client time

[geat]

I know this is probably horribly simple - but is there a way of getting the time off the client (as opposed to the server) machine in PHP?

write some javascript with php and have the page refresh itself:

if(isset($_GET['client_time'])){
   echo('it is '.$_GET['client_time'].' where you are');
}else {
   echo("<script language=\"Javascript\">");
   echo('location.href="'.$PHP_SELF.'?client_time="+Date()');
   echo('</script>');
}

or something like that {):-)
double check the format of your $_GET variables before printing them. can be a security risk.

Yeah PHP is server-side, so theres really no way to get the client-time without the user of something else... Javascript or VBScript or somethign else...
