I'm trying to synchronize the timezone between a PHP script and some JavaScript code. I want a PHP function that returns a timestamp in UTC. Does gmmktime() do that? On the JavaScript side, I have: var real_date = new Date(); real_date -= real_date.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000; real_date /= 1000; Does this convert the timestamp...
In a Python project I'm working on, I'd like to be able to get a "human-readable" timezone name of the form America/New_York, corresponding to the system local timezone, to display to the user. Every piece of code I've seen that accesses timezone information only returns either a numeric offset (-0400) or a letter code (EDT) or sometimes...
I have been trying in vain to round down the current time to the lower hour in PHP. Here's what I want to do: 1. Take the current time: $time_now = time(); 2. Round it down to the closest hour: $time_now = $time_now - ($time_now % 3600); 3. Print it using the function date: print date('d m Y H:i', $time_test); But what seems to be happ...
As of PHP5.3 (I think) it became a requirement for the date.timezone to be set in the php.ini file, or to be set at runtime via the date_default_timezone_set() function. When you don't set this value you get, an error, something along the lines of this: PHP Warning: date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Yo...
I'm using a shipping api (with fedex), and some of the fields I need to fill out ask for the datetime in a certain format (I've heard some people call it "zulu", it looks like this: 2006-06-26T17:00:00-0400) (by the way, what's a good way to format this in php) I'm hoping to be able to do this by using zip codes. So if I know a user's z...
So I've got this: date('c') which formats it like so: 2010-08-17T08:55:14-07:00 but I need a way to not have the colon in the offset, so maybe it would look like this: 2010-08-17T08:55:14-0700 What solution is there for this? I'm hoping for a slightly different format, rather than getting the string and replacing the last colon (us...
I'm storing all my dates in ISO-format, so all of them look like this: 2010-08-17T12:47:59+00:00 Now, when my application starts, I register the timezone the current user resides in. In my case, this would be "Europe/Berlin": date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Berlin"); However, when Zend_Date parses ISO dates, it overrides the defa...
I would like to get the timezone offset of the user environment in a Vim script and that must be portable (Unix/linux/MacOSX, Windows). For example, if the user is in Paris, its timezone offset is currently +2 (UTC+2). Portability concerns exclude using external programs or non native scripting engines (Perl, Python, Ruby...). ...
I want to output one of those select fields for the user to select their timezone. My User model saves the timezone as an integer in seconds. But I can change that if it's not practical. Something like this: <select> .. <option value="x">+9:00 (Darwin, Australia)</option> <option value="x">+10:00 (Sydney, Australia)</option> .. </s...

Does anyone provide an 3rd party API that does time zone conversions? I'm thinking of doing it for a site, just to make it easier to handle all the intricacies.

Hi, phpinfo() shows our system to be using ""Olson" Timezone Database Version 2010.3". I think that is now out of date, but can't locate an authoritative location which can confirm that. (a) Can I update the timezones info for PHP as a whole? (b) If so, how do I update this? I saw the instructions at http://www.electrictoolbox.com/co...

My php.ini file has no t...
