My servers are always set to GMT :) I hope to eventually add a deal where my users list their timezone so I can show data based on their local time. But haven't figured out how I should go about doing that.I store all dates and times as number using [math]{[date]}[/math] and [math]{[time]}[/math]. Then I figure I would need to add an offset field to the users record. But that still wouldn't handle DST unless I have a lookup table or include. And considering some places don't change and others change at different times.... that will be fun (I have members from over 90 countries).> JohnDale ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
