Showing time is users time zone?

Pests

How could you show the time in the users time zone? I wouldnt mind having to ask them for there time zone when they sign up, I just need to know how to convert it and whatnot. Anyone?

Ask for it in the format you want and you wouldn't need to convert it. /me shrugs.

after getting the user variables do this


date("d/m/Y h:ia",time()+(3600*$user['timezone']);

Ill explain how it works very easy though

Basically will out put 11/11/2003 12:50pm as an example

3600 is how many seconds in the hour so than that is being timed by the timezone which must have a - or + not so much the + in front of the timezone.

Hope that helps

The following works for me:

<?PHP 
echo"<center>"; 
print("Server time (East Coast) "); 
print(date("h:i A T, l F d, Y")); 
echo "<br />"; 
putenv("TZ=US/Pacific"); 
print("Local time (West Coast) "); 
print(date("h:i A T, l F d, Y")); 
echo"</center>"; 
?>

converting my WEB hosting server US East Coast to US West Coast.
