I’m using this great jQuery timepicker http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/

It gives a string something like 07/20/2011 01:13 am

I have this situation where users on the site can schedule “events” and they are using this to pick the event. But im realizing that it could cause a lot of confusion with all the different timezones that people will be submitting from.

So I was thinking I could use php to somehow get the timezone, and the adjust how the viewer views the dates according to their timezone. But this seems like quite a task and was wondering if there was an easier way?

Also, even with the php idea I tried echo date_default_timezone_get(); as a test to see if it got my timezone, but its saying im in the Los Angelas timezone, rather than Baltimore/DC timezone.

I’m guessing its getting the timezone of my server since php is serverside.

So basically, whats the best way while using my time picker jquery script, that I can have all the users view the date/times adjusted to their timezones? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
