 Replying to [comment:5 Otto42]:
 > Part of the problem is described by westi (the user needs the ability to
 be in a different timezone than the server) and part of the problem is
 that the timezone stuff in PHP versions earlier than PHP5 is quite weak.

 Virtually every server I've seen in the past allows the user to set the
 time zone in which they reside. It's not universal, but it's rather
 common. How about an option to "use server time" or to specify your own
 UTC offset?

 In PHP, "date()" works reliably if the user can set the time zone.
