Countdown + Timezones

Belwo is some code for a Countdown:

PHP Code:


		
			
<? 



$day = 10; // Day of the countdown 

$month = 4; // Month of the countdown 

$year = 2002; // Year of the countdown 



// mktime is the marked time, and time() is the current time. 

$target = mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day,$year); 

$diff = $target - time(); 



$days = ($diff - ($diff % 86400)) / 86400; 

$diff = $diff - ($days * 86400); 

$hours = ($diff - ($diff % 3600)) / 3600; 

$diff = $diff - ($hours * 3600); 

$minutes = ($diff - ($diff % 60)) / 60; 

$diff = $diff - ($minutes * 60); 

$seconds = ($diff - ($diff % 1)) / 1; 



printf("There are $days days, $hours hours, $minutes minutes, $seconds seconds until the next team meeting!"); 

?>

The problem is that is is the same for all timezones, I was wondering how I could make it work with all timzeones so teh countdown is different depending on what time zone your in and what timezone it is originally set on..

Thanks! If I get this working it shall lead toa vB hack ;)

play with this code

PHP Code:


		
			


$timestamp = time(); 



$hoursdiff = 7; //change this to how many hours minus UTC time you want to set the clock to 



$hoursdiff = $hoursdiff * 3600; 

$timestamp = $timestamp - $hoursdiff;
