I've been researching this for the past few hours, and didn't really
find a solid solution. I want to run this by anyone who has
experienced this and get their opinion.
Here is the Theory I'd like to verify with you..
Anytime a row is created or modified it should use
"date_default_timezone_set(GMT 0)" (London I think).
so that date/time is all neutral.
Whenever data is retrieved it should apply the timezone the user has
set, for example "date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Melbourne')".
This should allow them to change their timezone and date/time should
be accurate.
Now, if its currently DST, when saving I should use
"date_default_timezone_set(GMT -1)". this way, next time I retrieve
the data it should be accurate whether I'm in DST or not.
I thought I'd put this all in the app controller, and in the
beforeFilter us "if ($this->action == 'add')".
Is there a better way? I'm a bit worried about advanced actions that
do a bit of save and find. so my check above wont work. so how else
could I get to the created and modified to apply the timezone?
