LC server, on-rev and time zones
Hi list, How do you handle different time zones in server scripts ? For example, I and my clients are in Europe, so dates and times need to be consistent with the local time zone. But on-rev servers are located in the US East coast, so there is presently a 6 hours difference. Furthermore, switching from summer time to winter time (and back) occur at different dates in Europe and North America... How do you guys manage to keep everything consistent all year round ? Thanks you in advance. jbv ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: LC server, on-rev and time zones
You could try to set the $TZ variable. I did not try on On-Rev/LivecodeHosting, but on a HostM Server which also has Livecode Server installed. This script here for example would set the timezone first to Germany and outputs the current time and then for New York. <À?ÀlÀcÀ Àput "Europe/Berlin" into $TZ Àset the twelvehourtime to false put the time Àput "" Àput "America/New_York" into $TZ Àset the twelvehourtime to true Àput the time ?> > Am 06.09.2023 um 15:22 schrieb jbv via use-livecode > : > > Hi list, > > How do you handle different time zones in server scripts ? > For example, I and my clients are in Europe, so dates and > times need to be consistent with the local time zone. > But on-rev servers are located in the US East coast, so > there is presently a 6 hours difference. > Furthermore, switching from summer time to winter time > (and back) occur at different dates in Europe and North > America... > How do you guys manage to keep everything consistent > all year round ? > > Thanks you in advance. > jbv > > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: LC server, on-rev and time zones
Just tested on On-Rev and it works. Thank you, that's very helpful. Le 2023-09-06 09:39, matthias rebbe via use-livecode a écrit : You could try to set the $TZ variable.
