anti,
Thanks for your help, upon looking the code, I think it will work. I'll test it out shortly.
I have one more thing to clarify. I possess something extra that female don't. Never mind about it, gender doesn't matters to me, proud to be a man though . No intention to offense the females here...
Later.

Hi Pat,

as far is I understood elara she just wanted to show the time to the user.
And she wanted to know which data she'll need from her database to calc the users localtime.
The offset (to gmt) and gmt are the only things needed for this.

The timestamps in my logfiles are always gmt.

ciao

Hi,
I need some help on programming logic and pointers because I'm fairly new to the date/time of Perl programming. This is what I'm going to do:
I'm going to have a list of subscribers. Whenever the subscriber visits my site, I'll try to show their current time depending on their location.
I know I'm going to need their GMTs, but I'm quite confused right now, what values should I keep track in the database? And I'm not quite familar with the GMT stuff.
Anyone has written this kind of program which deals with GMT, time and dates?
Thanks in advance.

it works....
but i would add the server-time to the database, you will probably want to know the time your web-site has it's heaviest traffic. if you only save the local-times, it won't be easy..
