Hello everyone
Im a beginner
I would like to ask: Do you now any names of function to find time of user?

For example: website is in germany. American wrote a comment. He must see time from his timezone. Not from germany
I looked for it in php manual but havn’t found anything. Maybe its connected with ip??

Thank you for your suggestions?

@NogDogMar 02.2012 — The function you would likely use is date_default_timezone_set(). However, that's the simple part. The more complex part is how you intend to "know" the user's timezone. Will it be something the user selects when registering an account, or do you want to try to guess it based on the apparent IP address of the user, or what?

@johny1000authorMar 02.2012 — My new idea is that i will read a timezone from computer of user in javascript. But im wondering what if the js is disabled??

@hyperionXSMar 02.2012 — If the use has javascript enabled you calculate the difference using php and javascript

If not, you ask him to tell you his timezone ?
