Hello,
I would do something like this.
1. Make sure a timezone string is saved with the user's profile. Once user
logs in, the timezone string can now be retrieved using the Auth component
($this->Auth->user('timezone')).
2. Let the user enter the date you need, hopefully in a usable format.
3. Use CakeTime::toServer($dateString, $timezone) to convert the user's
input back to UTC (which you already set your server's time to).
$dateString should be your user's input (strtotime parseable), and
$timezone should be the timezone string saved with your user's profile (see
#1).
4. ...
5. Profit.
HTH.
