Globally convert UTC DateTimes to user specified local DateTimes
You can’t do directly what you asked for, but I will suggest some alternatives. As Nicholas pointed out, there is nothing in HTTP that would give you the time zone directly. Option 1 First, decide which type of time zone data you want to work with. There are two different types available, either the Microsoft … Read more
How do I specify the time zone when creating a JavaScript Date?
Can someone explain how Date.UTC works Date.UTC creates a timevalue for the provided year, month, date, etc. without any offset. So if the client machine is set for, say, UTC +05:00 then: var d = new Date(Date.UTC(2013, 11, 30, 12, 0, 0)); will create a date equivalent to noon on 30 December 2013 at Greenwich. … Read more
TSQL: How to convert local time to UTC? (SQL Server 2008)
This works for dates that currently have the same UTC offset as SQL Server’s host; it doesn’t account for daylight savings changes. Replace YOUR_DATE with the local date to convert. SELECT DATEADD(second, DATEDIFF(second, GETDATE(), GETUTCDATE()), YOUR_DATE);
How to parse date/time from string?
Although I don’t know how to format a single-digit month input in boost, I can do it after the two-digit edit: #include <iostream> #include <boost/date_time.hpp> namespace bt = boost::posix_time; const std::locale formats[] = { std::locale(std::locale::classic(),new bt::time_input_facet(“%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S”)), std::locale(std::locale::classic(),new bt::time_input_facet(“%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S”)), std::locale(std::locale::classic(),new bt::time_input_facet(“%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S”)), std::locale(std::locale::classic(),new bt::time_input_facet(“%Y-%m-%d”))}; const size_t formats_n = sizeof(formats)/sizeof(formats[0]); std::time_t pt_to_time_t(const bt::ptime& pt) { … Read more
Is it always a good idea to store time in UTC or is this the case where storing in local time is better?
I think that in order to answer that question, we should think about the benefits of using UTC to store timestamps. I personally think that the main benefit to that is that the time is always (mostly) guaranteed to be consistent. In other words, whenever the timezone is changed, or DST applied, you don’t get … Read more

Using gmdate will always return a GMT date. Syntax is same as for date.
Java Convert GMT/UTC to Local time doesn’t work as expected
I also recommend using Joda as mentioned before. Solving your problem using standard Java Date objects only can be done as follows: // **** YOUR CODE **** BEGIN **** long ts = System.currentTimeMillis(); Date localTime = new Date(ts); String format = “yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss”; SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(format); // Convert Local Time to UTC (Works … Read more
Generating a drop down list of timezones with PHP
I would do it in PHP, except I would avoid doing preg_match 100 some times and do this to generate your list. $tzlist = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(DateTimeZone::ALL); Also, I would use PHP’s names for the ‘timezones’ and forget about GMT offsets, which will change based on DST. Code like that in phpbb is only that way b/c … Read more
JSON Stringify changes time of date because of UTC
Recently I have run into the same issue. And it was resolved using the following code: x = new Date(); let hoursDiff = x.getHours() – x.getTimezoneOffset() / 60; let minutesDiff = (x.getHours() – x.getTimezoneOffset()) % 60; x.setHours(hoursDiff); x.setMinutes(minutesDiff);
