adjust server date/time

hi there,
i want to display a time in my website according to the time of one of the Arabic countries. and then i want to put a Note(telling ppl that this is according to that country's time)

i was trying to put some calculations for the date in php, but then, that will display the time according to the client time.

So, how can i do that on the server side. let's say, the host site is using linux redhat.
or if iam wrong in my idea to display the date, u can correct me.
thanks.

PHP date/time functions will pull that info from the server it is being called from. Javascript date/time functions will pull from the client. If the server is not in that time zone, just adjust for the offset.

: But why when i adjust my time in the browser the date/time will display it accordingly. Is it because iam using my localhost??

anyway, someone else asked me to use gmdate() then to make some calculations based on it.

i'll try to figure out how to do this, then i'll test on the real production server.
thanks anyway.

Here is an article from NetBulge explaining how to do what you want:

For a quick code bit to do what you want, try this.



Just adjust $gmt_time_zone_offset to the locations offset from GMT, and you are set.
