Countdown + Timezones

[ForKmaN]

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;
