[PHP] Slick Time Zone Coversions

[Jason]

Hey,
 
I wanted to see if 
anybody has a some ideas or code for a good time zone coversion 
function.
 
Basically, I would 
like something where the user can input their timezone (or if php doesn't 
recognize timezones, maybe just the current time for them, and it can caluculate 
the difference, but timezones would be preferred). They then enter a time (hh:mm 
am/pm) which is not local to them, and the function will output a time that has 
been converted to their timezone.
 
Basically i just 
want users to be able to take a non-local time and get the local time in their 
timezone with it. This will be for US times only also.
 
Thanks a 
bunch!
