I am going to fetch out the data from remote mysql database
according to timestamps colmmen, however my local date is different
from the one on remote mysql database,
how can I get right timestamp using the date of remote time zone?
that is to say I set the date and send itto remote server or
database to calculate timestamps of it
thanks in advance
There is one straightforward solution: only ever keep timestamps in
UTC/GMT and correct for time zone / DST when you display them. While
that can be confusing sometimes, overall it's a much simpler way of
working that storing local times.
