I am writing a calendar/scheduling app in php right now. Right now I take the day of the week you want the event to occur on and the time. I also ask for the timezone and adjust accordingly to get the event time in GMT. Then I store that time as an offset from midnight of the day of the show. This is fine and works great, but what ha...

Now as the client and server app can be in different time zones , how one can store time with time zone in a standard format (to take care diff time zo...
Does the .Net DateTime contain information about time zone where it was created? I have a library parsing DateTime from a format that has "+zz" at the end, and while it parses correctly and adjusts a local time, I need to get what the specific time zone was from the DateTime object. Is this possible at all? All I can see is DateTime....
I need to add timezone information to a db table with user maintained locations. The data will be accessed mostly from Java code but there is also some PL/SQL and Win32 (Delphi) code which needs to understand the timezone information. It seems straight forward to use the id from java.util.TimeZone. Java can easily convert that (obviousl...
In oracle, is the named timezone always stored? I have been testing this column within our system, and in some places the timestamp is shown as: 26-FEB-09 11.36.25.390713 AM +13:00 but other times it's: 26-FEB-09 11.36.25.390713 AM Pacific/Auckland If the value is being stored as the former, does that mean the actual timezone is n...
Is thee some way of implementing a custom time zone in windows? We have some PCs in Creston, British Columbia, Canada (Time zone exception) which stays the same time all year. So essentially, Creston does not observe a time zone. Can I implement this behavior in windowsÉ ...
I want to add some OSIsoft RtWebParts to a Sharepoint page. I want these trends to be shown in different timezones for different users. What I'm finding is that they are always shown in EDT. Ideally, I want a solution for configuring the presented timezone by page or by user. ...

The method gets called from a client, which could be in a different time zone. The service hosting the web service is in pacific standard time, and it appears the web service ...
I'm interested in retrieving the current zoneinfo string ("America/Los Angeles", "Europe/London", etc.) that the user currently has set for their OS in JavaScript. I've found how to get the current offset in seconds, offsets at specific dates, and less exact time zones (PST, etc.) but not the Olson zoneinfo. Is this possible? ...
Javadocs on java.text.SimpleDateFormat state the following on the "z" pattern letter: z Time zone General time zone Pacific Standard Time; PST; GMT-08:00 General time zone: Time zones are interpreted as text if they have names. For time zones representing a GMT offset value, the following syntax is used ... Question ...
The .NET TimeZoneInfo class is great and I thought it would answer all my issues with recording data from multiple time zones in my SQL 2005 database. To convert a UTC datetime in the database to any other time zone i'd just get the time zone into a TimeZoneInfo class using TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById() and then call the TimeZon...

Hello, We store our date/time information in UTC format on our SQL Server. When using SQL Reporting Services, we'd like to display this data in the time zone of the client workstation, but it appears that using an expression like; System.TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.ToLocalTime(Fields!DateStarted.Value) ... converts into the time zone...
The question is as it sounds - how to retrieve the client user's time zone based on their browser input? If it matters, server side, J2EE is used - but I don't think that really matters in this case. Right now, HTTP is the protocol, it may use HTTPS when it goes live. ...
(I am new to Python and Google App Engine, please forgive me if my questions seem basic). I'm having a helluva time trying to manage multiple user timezones in my Google App Engine application. Here are my constraints: If a user enters the time on an input, it will be local time (including DST, when appropriate). If a user does not e...
I can't seem to find a way to get Pear's Date class (or PHP's date function) to return AEST as the timezone abbreviation for the timezone Australia/Melbourne. It always returns EST. I tried all the ways of printing out the timezone available in Date::format, format2, format3. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm running PHP 5.1.6, Pear Date ...
Unfortunately I'm not using PHP 5. On the documentation of the date function it has a timezone section which lets you specify the difference from the GMT tome. How can you use that to get the current/local time in a specified timezone, and does it with with daylights savings? ...
I'm experiencing a bizarre issue where my system clock knows that it's daylight savings time, but glibc seems not to. This is an up-to-date Ubuntu installation, and I have checked /etc/localtime and it has the correct changeover time for last week's switch to DST. The current correct timezone for me is Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7). Whe...
