Require Assistance

**Cerebral Stasis** · 03-23-2006, 10:15 AM

I'm hardly a PHP pro, in fact, I'm hardly even good enough to be considered a novice. Yet, I still need assistance with creating a certain script.

On my website, I have a schedule of the different shows that air on the NHB Radio Network, but the schedule is only in EST. I would like some help on creating a script that will allow one to select one's timezone from a drop-down list, save said selection in a cookie (or file or mySQL), and then, depending on one's selection, adjust the schedule to show the times according to the selected timezone. The script will need automatic DSL-adjustment, as well as a way to adjust PM, AM, and the day (for some, Sunday 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM would be Saturday 11:00 PM - 1:00 AM and for others, maybe Monday 12:00 AM - 2:00 AM). I'll admit that I don't know squat about this kind of thing, and all the other forums that I've requested help in haven't replied (or at least not with anything really helpful). I would greatly appreciate it if someone could figure out how to make this script work.

I thank you for your time.

My best recommendation would be to display times with Javascript after setting the server time (years, months, days, hours, seconds) up in Javascript variables - this way, even if the user changes his or her machine's clock, the times will be displayed correctly (although you may need to do some CSS work to hide the textbox elements the times will be displaying in).

PHP + Javascript code sample:

PHP Code:


			
<script type="text/javascript">



// Grab server times to calculate differential



var servYear = <?php echo date("Y"); ?>;

var servMonth = <?php echo date("m"); ?>;

var servDay = <?php echo date("d"); ?>;

var servHour = <?php echo date("H"); ?>;

var servMinute = <?php echo date("i"); ?>;

var servSecond = <?php echo date("S"); ?>;



// Grab user times to calculate differential



var userYear = now.getYear();

var userMonthNumber = now.getMonth();

var userMonthDay = now.getDate();

var userHour = now.getHours();

var userMinute = now.getMinutes();

var userSecond = now.getSeconds();

</script>
