<br>At the moment I'm building a website, and I need the date and time FROM THE CLIENT maschine. I can't figure out how to gather the information needed, without asking the user to supply the timezone, in which they live.<br><br>Currently I haven't heard about any kind of solution to this problem, so I would be extraordinary happy if one of you guys have a solution.

I am sorry, but PHP will only return the time relative to the server unless you perform this kind of trick to create a custom time value:<br><br>getdate(timestamp); <br><br>Javascript can be used to return the timestamp value which will of course return the value for local time instead of time relative to the server.<br><br>Thus, using the following should work just fine:<br><br>My computer tells me that it is July 4th, 2000 at 11:33am so the timestamp value is 962732315 (you must get this using Javascript, not PHP.<br><br><?php<br>$local_time = getdate("962732315"
;<br><br>$hour = $local_time["hours"];<br>$minute = $local_time["minutes"];<br>$second = $local_time["seconds"];<br>$day = $local_time["mday"];<br>$month = $local_time["month"];<br><br>//and so on....<br>?><br><br>Sincerely,<br>Chad.
