Store all your stuff as GMT or UTC -- or even in your own local time. But allow your users to set a "preference" for their own time zone. You should be able to find a simple "preferences" system out there in http://phpclasses.org or on http://zend.com or even http://google.com Anyway, after that, you just convert with their preference from your stored time. You just have to be REALLY careful that you are consistent when you show them a time, and when you GET a time from them, and *always* remember to convert back-and-forth before you store it. Your database may also support time-zone input in some manner, and can maybe be helpful in this task. That's gonna be database-dependent, almost for sure. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
