Excellent suggestion - However, for legal reasons it is important to capture
the client time/date as it is always possible the date/time on the client
machine has been altered and/or out of sync with the server time/date.

Why not just store the client time zone and store server data/time??

Hi
All I am trying to do is transfer the data and time from the client
machine upto the server. The goal is to create a MySQL record by customer
number and store both the client time/date and server time/date for each
new record created .

Susan hit the nail on the head. She's pointing out why I said it was a
"hack" - if you're not understanding the problem correctly (the
difference between client-side and server-side) then the proposed
solution might be "simple and workable" but it's still wrong.
More to the point, what exactly are your goals with this code, Paul?
Are you just trying to get the exact time on the client's computer?
Are you just trying to create a timestamp in their timezone?

I'm watching this discussion with interest since I asked a similar
question
last month (about sending PHP stats from a JS onclick event). The
answer
that came up was to put a redirect to the link page, run the PHP script
on a
redirect.php page and then send it on to the destination.
I've set it up this way and it's working fantastically, but I have tons
of
links and I'm beginning to feel hesitant about sending users to a
redirect
when there's so many harmful redirects out there. (Of course, not
mine...)
Just as this question came up here, I was again researching it on the
internet, and very clearly saw that the crux of the problem is that
Javascript is client side and PHP server side, meaning the 2 don't mix
unless in Ajax.
So I'm off to brush up on my Ajax and get it working, because except
for the
redirect, I can only see that Ajax will work.
