    I'm having a problem with a program which I made to display the difference between timezones. You can see it here]. The strange thing is that I seem to get different information depending on where the user is located. I see the correct time here in Mainland China, However my friend located in Hong Kong sees something totally different.

    Its strange the the user has anything to do with it since the we're viewing the same script and that runs off of a server in the states..

    hi, could the daylightsavings cause the problem? I just checked the time in Hungary and it was 1 hour less.

    Maybe, but I can't figure out why, after all the shouldn't the time come from the server not the user?

    At the start of the script I use the following to make sure we start out at the correct time:
    date_default_timezone_set("GMT")
