Hello, I'm thinking about to store dates on user login in my site, but I don't know what is the most logical solution.
Initially, I though to use server timezone, and then to manage it using difference operations between server machine date and user machine...

Try this:
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
You can change the timezone as appropriate_timezone_set('Europe/London');
Not sure if this what you're looking for, but try DateTime

I run a server with some PHP-powered forums ( Vanilla 1.1.5a) on it, and I've recently noticed posts going out of order on them. Some digging revealed that Apache seems to be changing the current timezone back and forth from +0000 to -0500 on a request...

Probably $TZ and is discussed in:

This is because functions change their return values (this is neither PHP- or Apache-specific).
In Unix/Linux each process can operate in a different timezone.
To workaround it.

Using this function:
perl -e 'use Time::Local; print timelocal("00","00","00","01","01","2000"),"\n";'
It will return an epochtime - but only in GMT - if i want the result in GMT+1 (which is the systems localtime(TZ)), what do i need to change?
Thanks...

Try:
env TZ=UTC+1 perl -e 'use Time::Local; print timelocal("00;now; print $dt->epoch, "\n";
For the timezones, you can use the DateTime::TimeZone module.
You just need to set the timezone.

The string $userTimezone = 'America/Los_Angeles').
Is that too easy?
Here's one pattern:

I have a few places in the code where I need to use the TimeZone. I can get the timezone name using DateTime::TimeZone . Is it reasonable to put the timezone name in a constant? Or should it be in a variable?

For a timezone, the chance it will change is not big, but it is also not 0.

I travel for work routinely and am often in a different time zone than my home timezone for days at a time. Is there a drawback to routinely changing the timezone of my Vista PC back and forth each week as I travel? Btw, it's normally only one or two ...

I have an application that stores GMT time data in a MySQL db like this: 2009-12-16 15:27:47.
The user's timezone offset is stored in another column like this: -6
The above timezone is GMT-6, which is CST. Is there any way I can echo CST (i.e. - date(...

This may cause problems for a subset of your users, but it allows them to change their timezone if they need to.
Finally, change your application to display/save timezone identifiers instead of GMT offsets.

This would be useful when I have a user's address or zipcode, and used that to find their timezone so they don't have to enter it in a separate field.

To the user the question:
"What is your zip code" isn't likely to change very often.
I would recommend against trying to deduce the timezone from the users zip code.
Mention ESRI as a source of information.
