Time Conversion wrt TimeZone

mmv
Hello,

Given Datetime value in a string, I wish to write a code where in I
could convert the datetime to a value in particular timezone. For
example, If the given datetime is 10:00 am in CST, i wish to convert it
to Eastern(11:00 am) or anyother timezone depending on the user's
system timezone.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks

You'll want to use UTC time as your base, then you can convert between time
zones much more easily.

Here's more info:

Say, I want to set a cookie and have it expire an hour after it's set. It's looking like this is only possible for browsers which are in the same time zone as my server?? In other words, if I set my cookie with: setcookie('CookieName', $SomeValue, time()+3600, "/");

Would appreciate some insight into how people are dealing with the implicit conversion of timezones that .NET does. If a server in one timezone delivers up a typed dataset to a component in another (winform for example) then the timezone conversion takes place. This is a pain if you are doing date based calculations on the client using input in one timezone and data from another. (Take one hour off a CET time and you go a day back in...

The Postgres manual says: The AT TIME ZONE construct allows conversions of time stamps to different time zones. I'd guess most people would think what's meant here is something like "unit conversion", and that the timestamp value stays the same (much like 2 feet becomes 24 inches when it's being "converted"). But: # SELECT NOW() = NOW() AT TIME ZONE 'UTC';

I have a long list of events. I know where each event took place (globally) and when (using the event’s local time). I want to do some comparisons between these date/times. I thought I would convert them all to UTC and thus get them all on a common time-line. But I can’t see how to do this. I can use TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone to get the current TimeZone object and use its ToUniversalTime method to convert dates that occurred in the...

Although it is not present in ANSI C, the GNU version of stftime supports the conversion character %z, which is a time offset from GMT. The four digit time offset is required in RFC 2822 dates/times, and is used by a number of other programs as well. I need to convert times that use this convention to python time representations, and because Python does not support the %z time conversion character I cannot simply use the time.strptime...

There is a function: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21865 It needs GMT date in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format - in SQL: datetime. If date is the same as today, the function returns "Today".

Is converting to timestamp() and then to format readable to visitors the one and only solution (e.g. strtotime() + date() OR DateTime object)? Perhaps,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
