I'm awash in synchronicity, just as I was working with the DST/time

as in U.S. in its presentation.
Of course, but to the quick.
I know how to get time zones from client computers, and store and
re-create them from the database. Cheers to the group.
But, how can I tell from the time zone what date/time systems I
should use, like mm/dd/yy or dd/mm/yy? I don't need an entry
mechanism, just display.
That is a localization issue. One option would be to add this to the
user preferences. I have not had to do this before without resorting
to user preferences, so perhaps there is a better way. But you could
look at the languages choices in the header and if en-us (American
English) is the first choice use the mm/dd/yy format, otherwise use
the sensible format.
(btw, I am achieving some marketing penetration through the
metaverse implementation, Second Life, <http://www.secondlife.com>)
Interesting!
