Hi, i got this annoying problem with apache/php..

date('H',time()); shows as one hour behind my time, eventhough the clock in windows is correct.

ive tried to put date.timezone = "Europe/Stockholm" in php.ini without success.


anyone know why this is and how to fix it?

thanks.

anyone?
close to shooting myself ;x

Try date("H".

i dont see how that could help me tbh ;E

anyway, found a semi ok fix.. putenv("TZ=Europe/Stockholm";

i would rather have that as a global setting though.

Hi,

Global settings are up to your application, depending on where your users are, I think. Not every one of them have to be in the same timezone - om de är inte i Sverige allena :-)

Your application may be able to grab the timezone from the browser settings using some nifty javascript, I assume.

Hi,

Last week I was working with MediaWiki ( see [www.mediawiki.org] ) and this thread reminded me how MediaWiki prompts for the timezone in the user preferences, displaying the server time, the local time and the Offset. The Offset field [ name='wpHourDiff' id='wpHourDiff' ] has the button underneath it to 'Fill in from browser', here is the javascript how it does it through [ onclick='javascript:guessTimezone()' id='guesstimezonebutton' ]. The code is extracted from ../skins/common/wikibits.js:

function unhidetzbutton() {
var tzb = document.getElementById('guesstimezonebutton');
if (tzb) {
tzb.style.display = 'inline';
}
}

// in [-]HH:MM format...
// won't yet work with non-even tzs
function fetchTimezone() {
// FIXME: work around Safari bug
var localclock = new Date();
// returns negative offset from GMT in minutes
var tzRaw = localclock.getTimezoneOffset();
var tzHour = Math.floor( Math.abs(tzRaw) / 60);
var tzMin = Math.abs(tzRaw) % 60;
var tzString = ((tzRaw >= 0) ? "-" : "" + ((tzHour < 10) ? "0" : "" + tzHour +
":" + ((tzMin < 10) ? "0" : "" + tzMin;
return tzString;
}

function guessTimezone(box) {
document.getElementsByName("wpHourDiff"[0].value = fetchTimezone();
}


Very clever, IMHO
