Da Foxx Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I'm trying to create a registration script and I was wondering how would I be able to have the user select his time zone and have that time recorded into the database so that I can pull the out later and for example display the users current time and not the servers time. Can I do that with PHP? I would also guess this would be a math problem because I really have no idea really about other timezones except my local ones.

Alex Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Have a drop down menu for them to select their time zone, store it, then use date_default_timezone_set() Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Foxx Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Have a drop down menu for them to select their time zone, store it, then use date_default_timezone_set() So all I will have to do is just list Africa/Abidjan, Africa/Asmera, Africa/Blantyre in the drop down box and have that store information into PHP and have that later pulled into the date_default_timezone_set() function? That should work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
