Question

When a user signs up for my site they enter their weekly availability in this format:

Monday 1300 to 1400
Monday 2100 to 2200

Tuesday 1200 to 1300
Tuesday 1400 to 1500

Etc.

They also indicate their timezone based on a select menu, such as America/Los_Angeles.

What I want to happen is for those times to be adjusted based on the timezones of users that visit their profiles who have different timezones set. What is the best solution for this?

Answer 1

I actually ended up doing this:

<?php while ($ava = mysql_fetch_array($avail_action)) { 
    date_default_timezone_set($profile_owners_timezone);
    $timestamp_from = strtotime($ava['time_from']);
    $timestamp_to = strtotime($ava['time_to']);

            date_default_timezone_set($_SESSION['timezone']);
    $time_from = date("g:i A", $timestamp_from);
    $time_to = date("g:i A", $timestamp_to); ?>

Basically I got the profile “owner’s” timezone that he/she entered, set timezone to that, then set the timezone to “viewer’s” timezone and set the variable to that.

Thanks all for the help!
