Hi!
As I live in a GMT country, I usually don't think much about this,
but now I need help! :)
My problem is the following: I'm developing an app that will have
users from different parts of the globe. There are some events that
happen during time, and I want the users to see when those events
occurred, at their local time.
My problem is exactly that: my server is somewhere (Lisbon, for
ex, GMT). How do I know what time is it in the user city? What data
do I have to keep for each user? Their time zone? Their country? The
problem is that it seems that the time zone by itself is not enough,
because the DST rules change from country to country, right?
So, how do you handle this? Does the browser inform the server of
the local time in the http requests? If not, how?
Yours
