Timezone Adjustment

[wintallo]

Hey,

 

I want to get all times one my website to be outputted in the user's time zone, so I wrote a function that should make the proper adjustment.

function output_date($timezone = 0, $time = -1) {
if ( $time == -1 ) {
	$time = time();
}
$adjustment = 60*60*(date('O', time())/100);
$adjustment = $adjustment - (60*60*$timezone);
return date('n/j/Y g:i:s A', $time+$adjustment);
}

The user's time zone is passed as the first parameter, and the time is passed as the second parameter, with the default of the current time. The function isn't working for me. The format of the timezone pass is as follows: -5 for GMT - 5, 0 for GMT, etc.

 

Thanks!

Nevermind, I figured it out on my own.

 

Here's the code for future reference

function output_date($timezone = 0, $time = -1) {
if ( $time == -1 ) {
	$time = time();
}
$adjusted_time = $time;
$adjustment = 60*60*(date('O', time())/100);
$adjusted_time = $adjusted_time - $adjustment;
$adjustment = 60*60*$timezone;
$adjusted_time = $adjusted_time + $adjustment;
return date('n/j/Y g:i:s A', $adjusted_time);
}
