Hi Gang,

Just wondering if anybody has ever done any implementation where as  
part of a users profile, you saved the users timezone?

How did you do this?

I had a look through the Symfony manual, and also the snippets and  
couldn't find anything relevant :-/

I'm torn between storing it in the Unix way (eg 'Europe/London') or as  
a reference to GMT - eg 'GMT+1' or maybe even '(GMT) Greenwich Mean  
Time : Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London' because there are more  
timezones than there are hours in the day - GMT also applies to '(GMT)  
Casablanca, Monrovia'.

I noticed in the Symfony culture data files, some of the countries  
have the timezone wthin then (en_GB.dat has Europe/London, GMT and  
Greenwich Mean Time listed). However, some - like en_US.dat don't -  
presumably because there are like 5 or 6 timezones in the states?

Even if the culture data was complete, and there were timezones listed  
for all countries, how would I then create a list of all timezones to  
display to the user so that they could pick theirs?

So, basically, I'm looking for a 'standard' way to handle timezones  
that would ideally somehow relate to the built in Symfony culture  
data, and one that isn't so horribly hackish that I feel physically  
sick using it ;)

Any thoughts or suggestions?
