regional settings

[JamesGMills]

Hi!

I am a PHP developer and i would like to use a little bit of Javascript to get the users local regional settings (time zone or somthing) and then store it in my MySQL database so i can use that info to show reports as to where the visitors are viewing from.

Anyone any ideas how to help out on this one?

Do you mean you want to be able to auto-detect what the timezone / regional settings are from the user's operating system, or do you mean you want to have the user choose their settings from a drop-down (or other control), and you want to know how to store that?

Dan,

I want to auto-detect so that i can then store it in a database to be used in an admin console.

Thanks

Detecting a setting of the OS could be tricky... But you might be able to use one of these:

alert(new Date().getTimezoneOffset());

alert(new Date());

to try and find the information you need.

Hope this helps,
Dan
