The result of that function would depend on where the server is installed, not where the client is accessing it from, right? On 11/3/06, Dotan Cohen <dotancohen@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
How does php decide what timezone a user is in? Although I am in Haifa, Israel (GMT+2), when I go to a page with date("e") I get "America/New_York" displayed. To confirm, could some users tell me what output they get on: http://what-is-what.com/what_time_is_it.php Let me know where you are in the world, and what timezone you are in to confirm/ deny the correctness of the php date function. Any advise on how to get the correct user's timezone would be most appreciated. Note: I have considered matching the users' IP against a database, but I'd prefer a simpler method, without the overhead of such a database. Thanks in advance.
