Getting the date/time either by: new Date(); or Calendar.getInstance(); always the date is one hour ahead of the system date. At first, i thought it is a timezone mismatch, howeve...
Is there a reliable way to find the UTC-offset of a given time zone in the shell? On my linux box, I can use TZ=[TIME ZONE] date +%z but I need to run this on HP-UX, and the %z option of date is not supported. I have a data file which has a number of timestamps (in UTC), and for each of them a timezone is indicated, and I need to find t...

Does anyone know a way in an ICS file to specify that all times are written in the local time at the location? I thought that leaving the 'Z' off the end of times, and using the TZID="America/Denver" (for example) in DTSTART and DTEND lines accomplished this, but MS Outlook assumes that all times are in the location's standard time. My...
I'm having trouble understanding the conversion between the "Etc/GMT-5" timezone and UTC in pytz. >>> dt = datetime(2009, 9, 9, 10, 0) # September 9 2009, 10:00 >>> gmt_5 = pytz.timezone("Etc/GMT-5") >>> gmt_5.localize(dt) datetime.datetime(2009, 9, 9, 10, 0, tzinfo=<StaticTzInfo 'Etc/GMT-5'>) Everything is fine so far, but then I try...
Hi folks, I have a TimeZoneInfo property on some object which I need to save to a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database. What type of database field type should I use, please? If it helps, I'm also using Entity Framework 4, which came with my Visual Studio 2010. ...
I have inherited a legacy application where all the dates and times are stored in the local timezone (UK). I am not in a position to change how these are stored. However, the requirement is to display all the dates in GMT within the app. Therefore when I retrieve a list of events from the database I need it to display them all in this ...

I have written a convert...

The server my PHP script is running on is set to UTC. I can't seem to figure out a way to set all dates to the browser's timezone. All dates displayed are formatted using PHP's date() function. I know that via JavaScript's getTimezoneOffset() function, I can get the browser's current UTC offset (-4, in my case). How can I tell PHP to...
I'm a bit confused about timezones in rails. I want my rails app to use British Summer Time (like daylight savings in the US) for the timestamps set in updated_at and created_at in my models. I changed my environment.rb to say config.time_zone = 'London' The ubuntu server my app is on seems to use BST for it's time: in the comman...
I am working on an application that is near the end of its development cycle and has mostly passed user testing. We recently realized that having flex convert dates to the client's local timezone is not desired, as all of our dates are in EST and contain no time data. Since BlazeDS sends dates in UTC, this results in the dates being conv...
I am using this question (yahoo-weather-api-woeid-retrieval) to convert a US ZIP to a Yahoo WOEID value. However while the Yahoo reply returns all sorts of interesting stuff, what I am interested in getting is the correct timezone of the location. Is there any easy way to return the timezone from Yahoo, or map a WOEID (or ZIP in that m...
Have you ever had any issue with PHP timezones conversions through the getTransitions function? I am trying to convert an Argentinian date into GMT. If I look into the array of transitions, I get: .... [63] => Array ( [ts] => 1287284400 [time] => 2010-10-17T03:00:00+0000 [offset] => -7200 [isdst] => 1 [abbr] => ARST ) [64] => Array ( [...
Here's what I have tried so far. I'm just not too sure as to why it outputs as PST instead of GMT. I'm not sure if that's not the correct way to parse it, or to output it. Something seems to be wrong somewhere. >>> x = time.strptime('Wed, 27 Oct 2010 22:17:00 GMT', '%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z') >>> time.strftime('%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z...

Hi all. when users sign up to one of my sites for a free trial, i set their account expiry to be "14.days.from_now". Then on the home page i show how many days they have remaining, which i get with: (user.trial_expires - Time.now)/86400 (because there are 86400 seconds in a day, ie 60 * 60 * 24) The funny thing is, this comes out ...
