Automatic detect of time zone?

Automatic detect of time zone?

I asked the members of the site to give their time zone.

How do I automatically show their local time? :confused:

I don't think there is a way to automatically gives a user's time zone. But there are ways to offset it to their timezone if they set it. I know you can do this with PHP 5 but I don't know about PHP 4.

Oh ok, I thought there was a way to automatically display a member's local time. :-) If it's complicated I won't bother with it anymore since I'm still technically a PHP idiot.

You can use Time function. It can automatically show the users System time

I am not sure if you can even do thus in PHP, I always though that it was JavaScript! I learnt a little here too!

The best way to detect a visitors timezone is with JavaScript. You can read more and download sample code at:
