The local time is not included in HTTP request, therefore there is no way you can get it using PHP directly. You can solve this problem by asking your visitors to provide their GMT timezone once and then write it to the cookies. Another option is to use JavaScript for getting user's local time and then pass it to the PHP script. Something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var CurrentDate = new Date();
var CurrentHour = CurrentDate.getHours();
var CurrentMinute = CurrentDate.getMinutes();
window.location = "page.php?hour=" + CurrentHour + "&minute=" + CurrentMinute;
</script>

and then, in your PHP script:

// ...................................
$CurrentHour = $HTTP_GET_VARS["hour"];
$CurrentMinute = $HTTP_GET_VARS["minute"];
// ...................................

You see i don't care about USER time and zone , i need server time and i need to know what zone server is in after that i can calculate GMT time based on server time and zone .......

function time(); gives you server not user time.


THE END GOAL is to know server time zone. Not gmt or any other time.

Прости, я не очень понял, что ты хочешь получить:

1. GMT-время на сервере?
2. Время на сервере в его локальной временной зоне?

Если первое -- gmdate(), если второе -- date().

Разумеется, для правильной работы обеих функций сервер должен быть адекватно настроен.
