" " . $userUTC; $usertimestamp = strtotime($userdate);//now you have the timestamp with correct timezone $crontime = date("d/m/Y H:i", $usertimestamp);//formatted to the right date echo $crontime; ?> </code></pre> <p>Edit: 25-07-2013 14:26</p> <p>New solution to suit your database:</p> <pre><code><?php $usertime = "01/01/01 06:00"; $userUTC = "Pacific/Auckland";//get from database $userdate = $usertime .
