Hi
How to get browser time (clients time)? I used localtime() and it gives the server time only and not the client time.
thanks

PHP is evaluated on the server.

If you want to get the browser time than you should send it to your
server via GET, POST, any other way you are able to send data from your
client to the server.....

You would have to use JavaScript and have it send the client's time to
your server in another HTTP request.

May I ask why you need the client's time/timezone?

Offtopic: It seems to be quite common these days and is IMHO a severe
bug in Google's web interface to the Usenet groups - the missing
References header. This makes following a thread quite complicated,
because the postings without that header usually appear completely out
of order and out of context.

Any chance to change that or use a real newsreader like Forté Agent or
Thunderbird for posting to newsgroups? Google Groups just sucks.

Oh ok..

Send the GMT to the client, and write a little bit of script to turn it
into local time, and pop it in to an empty div..

getTimeOffset() returns the number of *minutes* between browser time and
GMT.

According to my javascript manual..

not really. I am no JavaScript genius.

Try in the JavaScript forum

I just know enough t know that way would most likely work: Not how to
write it.

Here is a simple demo:

I found the basics of how to do this and other things here:

OK. I fixed it (my demo anyway). Firefox is much more strict than IE8.

www.muttleydog.com/JavaScriptDateTimeDemo.htm

I had to use document.forms.Form1.Time.value

You can just use your browser and View | Source. But the script is as
follows:

function sbClock() {
var DateString=(new Date()).toString();
document.forms.Form1.Time.value=
DateString.substr( DateString.indexOf(":")-2, 8 );
}

I got that from the FAQ:
http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/javascript_guides/javascript_faq/clo ckexa.htm

But the substring is incorrect. Apparently there are many other errors, so
it should be used with caution. A better JavaScript reference is:
