Well i do something similar in a way. As do I. I've got a setLocalTZ() function and all my times are based on UTC. Once you go UTC you'll never go back. ;) ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now!

Just noticed this thread and I thought it was worth pointing out that Railo allows you to set the server to any timezone on a per web application context basis (so you can have different sites on the same server all running in different timezones). On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 7:57 PM, Paul Hastings

Charlie, If the code can run on Railo, we have shared servers in our LA data center. But then again if the code can run in Railo you could set the time zone for each virtual host separately. ;-) -- Peter Amiri Founder | Alurium Hosting 949-338-3862 | pe...@alurium.com | http://www.alurium.com

Now() + 3 shouldn't be that hard to implement. ;) (assuming all of the date/time stamps are being entered via CFML instead of the DB itself) Just a note, Railo allows you specify the time zone for each site, so if you want to use a Railo host, it doesn't matter where they're physically

Hey Scott: Hmm... not sure that the current site will run under Railo. Also, their current database is SQL Server (I probably should have mentioned that). Looks like Alurium is exclusively Railo/mySQL (?) Thanks, Charlie On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 12:12 PM, Scott Stewart

Nothing against Railo. My main project right now is a Railo site (altho we're keeping it CF9 compatible) with a mySQL database. Works a treat. I just don't know this other site well enough to be able to say, yeah, let's jump over to Railo and convert your MS SQL database to mySQL :) There's

I would have thought most hosting companies would have their servers set to UTC ( or Greenwich Mean Time) . Is that not true? I have servers in California, but ours are on UTC so we can move them from place to place if we choose and it makes no difference to the code. Cheers Mike Kear Windsor,

Mike: The current host has severs on east coast time as well as GMT. Unfortunately, the app is architected in such a way that it can't handle timezone offsets, whether it's east coast or GMT... it expects that the time entered is going to be the time displayed :\ On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 7:16
