=Agreed you must stick with either one or the other, right? =Wrong! To fix the problem of different offices spread out around the world, you either allow each office to report in local time, ie today's data, last month's data, etc; or you standardise all time-date oriented data into one common timebase/zone. =There are two 'standards': American = whichever time zone head office is; International = GMT/UTC/Zulu =PHP users are always happy at the latter because there are a neat set of built-in time functions that run at UTC [gm*()] regardless of the server/client computers' ToD clocks. =dn --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
