timezone offset

[kalster]

instead of js alert displaying the timezone offset, i would like the content of get_time_zone_offset() to be used as a php variable.

<script type="text/javascript">
    function get_time_zone_offset( ) {
        var current_date = new Date();
        return -current_date.getTimezoneOffset() / 60;
    }

    alert("The local time zone is: GMT " + get_time_zone_offset());
</script>

you can use PHP time zone instead of javascript  time zone

you can use PHP time zone instead of javascript  time zone 

 

Unless I'm missing something, that's just going to get the time zone for the server which may not match the time zone for the visitor.

You could look into using AJAX to communicate with PHP. Or could also look into passing the information through an HTML form.
