try this:

Using .htaccess, make "get_time.html" your start page.
Then, use JS to grab the time, and redirect to "index.php?hour=XX&minute=XX".
You can now compare the local time to server time.

I recommend storing that in a session var or cookie, then you can use it as long as they are still on the site without having to pass it through every link.

I passed hour and minute in my example, becase if the clients clock is off by a few minutes, and they acces your page near the top of the hour... their clock may say 11:58, and your server say 12:02. I suppose you could even take it to the extreme and say: "What if it's new years eve, and the client's clock is 12/31/01 23:58:00 and the server is 01/01/02 01:02:00?"

Was reading an article on PHP Builder and think I have answered my own question. PHP is server side and so never sees the client computer. Thus, would have to use JS to do what I want to do.
