Display date as per client timezone

QuestionsDisplay date as per client timezone
Sunil asked 10 years ago

Hi Abu,
We have clients spread across the globe,
We are saving the grid data in UTC time zone now
How can I display the data with the timezone of the client in the grid.

I need to convert the date which is in UTC to the client's timezone.
Can I do something with this function

col["on_data_display"] = array("Function","");

Thanks

This is something that is outside the scope of phpgrid.

I would recommend to following stackoverflow solutions. 1) cookie based 2) maxmind geoip based.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Let me re-frame my question, Is there a way to display data saved in UTC as UTC+ 5:30 in the grid?
I save my data in UTC, I need to convert it to timezone of the client(I know which timezone My clinets are in) and display it in the grid

I think this function will do your work UTC to local.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_convert-tz

// you can provide custom SQL query to display data
$g->select_command = "SELECT i.id, CONVERT_TZ(invdate,'+00:00','+5:30') as invdate , c.name,
i.note, i.total, i.closed FROM invheader i
INNER JOIN clients c ON c.client_id = i.client_id";

To save data back in UTC, you may need to use on_insert / on_update function.
