This is how I do it:
in DB:
usertable
username,etc,tzone
where tzone = EST,PST,MNT,CNT
when the user logs in just grab the tzone, register it in the session. Also
make them constants, so you know if the server is in CA, then EST = 10800
now when they do something, all you have to do is calc the time. Like
result = mktime() - EST
Is this what you were talking about?
