Re: handling timezone and DST opinions please

date_default_timezone_set() sets the timezone for all other date and
time functions used in the same script, so you wont have to keep
specifying it.

In what timezone do you store your records that have dates? Do you use
a common one like GMT 0, Then use the users preferred timezone when
displaying it?

thanks
