Re: timezones

This is how I do it: in DB: usertable username,etc,tzone where tzone = EST,PST,MNT,CNT when the user logs in just grab the tzone, register it in the session. Also make them constants, so you know if the server is in CA, then EST = 10800 now when they do something, all you have to do is calc the time. Like result = mktime() - EST Is this what you were talking about?
