[Openroad-users] Timezone Question

[Darren Harvey]

Hi Gareth

 

Unfortunately the need is a bit more complex than that.  We have external
clocking devices that are connected via TCP/IP and may exist in any
Timezone, and we need to be able to send the local time to these devices. I
will allocate a Timezone type variable to the definition of the clocks. My
theory is that we know that the TIMEZONE the clock resides in is
'AUSTRALIA-SOUTH' or 'AUSTRALIA-WEST' or 'NZ', etc. And I need to be able to
send a string parameter to the clocks that contains the correct local time.
I don't want to rely on just adding or deducting a pre-specified number of
minutes from the server based time, as we need to take into account Daylight
Savings changes.  So I would like to have some method to get me the current
time for a specified Timezone.

 

Thanks

 

Darren

Just take half an hour off?

 

ACDT = date('now') - '30 mins';

Hi All

 

I need to be able to determine the current time in a different Timezone.
For example:  If my Ingres Timezone parameter is set to
'AUSTRALIA-VICTORIA', how can I determine the current time in
'AUSTRALIA-SOUTH'?

 

(Using OR2006 with Ingres2006)

 

 

Thanks

 

Darren
