[thelist] web and db server local time

[Bob Meetin]

Joel, 

Not sure about the browser part.  However here is some php code I added 
to display the currentDate or currentTime on a page.  You have to adjust 
the TimeDiff according to the timezone of the hosting service.

-Bob

$TimeDiff = +2+date('');
$TimeZoneEpoc = time() - ($TimeDiff*60*60);
$currentDate = date('F j, Y',$TimeZoneEpoc);
$currentTime = date('g:i A',$TimeZoneEpoc);
