You will need to use Javascript to achieve this. Take a look at the
getTimezoneOffset() function. You can pass this info to your server side
script through a form submission, or an image path. Hope the following
code samples help --
METHOD 1 -- FORM SUBMISSION:
----------------------------
<html>
<body>
<form name="timeform">
<input type="text" name="timezone" value="">
</form>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
x = new Date();
currentTimeZoneOffsetInHours = x.getTimezoneOffset()/60;
document.timeform.timezone.value= currentTimeZoneOffsetInHours;
//-->
</script>
</body>
</html>
METHOD 2 -- IMAGE SUBMISSION:
-----------------------------
<html>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
x = new Date();
currentTimeZoneOffsetInHours = x.getTimezoneOffset()/60;
document.write('<img src="code.php?timezone="' +
currentTimeZoneOffsetInHours + '">';
//-->
</script>
</body>
</html>
NOTES:
1. In the second code sample, note that your program is called "code.php".
2. Of course, neither of the above may work if user's browser has
Javascript turned off or does not support JS at all.
3. More info about the getTimeZoneOffset() function --
