how to rely on user's timezone setting?

[pnj]

I'm getting mktime() error 2048: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings.

 

I can get around this by using

 

date_default_timezone_set ('Africa/Johannesburg')

 

But I want to run my application on various local intranet servers that are not in the same time zones.  So basically I don't want to manually set the timezone, I want to use the system's setting that php tells me is not safe to rely on. 

 

I want to run with display_errors on, no TZ environment variable, no timezone_set() and no timezone in php.ini, but I don't want the mktime() error message.  Is it all too much to ask?

use javascript to get the date/time from the client, then you dont need to worry about what time zone theyre in.

If you don't want to display the mktime() error just add the @ symbol in from like so:

@mktime()

[pnj]

javascript won't do, I need time/date on the server side.

 

The '@' is interesting, never seen it before.  Can you point me to a manual page?  (search engines don't do so good with '@')
