Hi David, There's actually built in PHP functionality for this : http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/class.datetimezone.php
Although I haven't yet implemented this, I will be doing so shortly. I expect I'll save the abbreviated timezone into the users profile, rather than the UTC offset. Reason being that the UTC offset can change throughout the year. Clocks go forwards and backwards at different times in some countries. These two links should help you out : http://www.w3.org/TR/timezone/ and this : http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm On 4 Mar 2009, at 14:04, heathd wrote: > > Hi, > > back in sept 2008 there was an inconclusive discussion of this: > http://tinyurl.com/cy37oj > > The objective is to allow users to specify their own timezone and have > date/times displayed accordingly.
