Hi
One method is to use javascript to get the clients date/time then create a
diff between that and your time and use it to change the display times.
Here is a demo of getting the remote date and time
<pre>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<?if(!isset($Submit)):?>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- begin
function gogo() {
var dt = new Date();
var mm,dd,yy,h,m,s;
mm = dt.getMonth()+1;
dd = dt.getDate();
yy = dt.getYear();
h = dt.getHours();
m = dt.getMinutes();
s = dt.getSeconds();
document.location="<?echo
$PHP_SELF?>?Time="+h+":"+m+":"+s+"&Submit=yes&Month="+mm+"&Day="+dd+"&Year="+yy
}
// end -->
</script>
<?endif?>
</head>
<body<?if(!isset($Submit)):?> onload="gogo()"<?endif?>>
<?
if(isset($Submit)):
echo "Remote date = $Month/$Day/$Year $Time <br>";
endif;
?>
</body>
</html>
</pre>
