Hello Reader! If you developing the website for a global purpose then getting the time zone of your user is a important factor.
In the example below we'll see how to get the user's time zone by using JavaScript and PHP with a custom webpage.
First get the jquery file (The latest one) and call it on header
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
Now write this is custom Jquery just below it:-
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
if("<?php echo $timezone; ?>".length==0){
var visitortime = new Date();
var visitortimezone = "GMT " + -visitortime.getTimezoneOffset()/60;
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://abc.com/date.php",
data: 'time='+ visitortimezone,
success: function(){
location.reload();
}
});
}
});
</script>
Where abc.com is your website and date.php is our next page
Now the last step is to create date.php in the location as in url above
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['time'] = $_GET['time'];
?>
Now it will return the user's timezone.
