On the Builder.com.au website today, there's a quick new tutorial on grabbing the correct time for a user's "home" rather than the server's time.   PHP comes with an extensive catalog of date and time functions, all designed to let you easily retrieve temporal information, massage it into a format you require, and either use it in a calculation or display it to the user. However, if you'd like to do something more complicated, things get much, much hairier   To make things easier, they enlist the service of the PEAR Date package to help bridge the gap between the time zones faster. They give some of the basics of using the package before actually getting into the time zone conversion. The code is pretty straight-forward and they even include other simple tips like how to calculate the GMT offset and how to add and subtract timespans.

Here's something coool -- I was able to give the NYTimesRiver an icon on the iPhone desktop.  Russell Beattie explains how it works. Pretty simple. You just put a file named apple-touch-icon.png in the top level of the website. It must be a 57-by-57 png image. If you added the icon before this update, you might want to do it again to get the graphic version.

On his blog today, Joakim Nygard has posted about the use (or disuse) of time zones in PHP:   The problem with not handling timezones correctly is not apparent in the usual case of the webserver and the database server being in the same timezone. [...] Often a specific timezone is assumed for displaying date and time. This could very well be incorrect for a large number of visitors. If the database server is in yet another timezone, things begin to get out of sync.   He mentions the time zone functionality that MySQL offers too, but notes that it cannot be relied on either. Thankfully, there's is a bit of hope in PHP5 (as of 5.1 in fact) - the date_default_timezine_set function. He includes an example of the function in use, making it simple to get the correct date and time automatically with the date() function without having to do any hacks to discover the correct time zone.

From Sonspring.com, there's a quick tutorial on a simple way to make "time-sensitive CSS" for your site.   Recently, there's been some discussion on the Godbit forum about how to serve dynamic, time sensitive CSS with PHP. I got to thinking, and the steps necessary to make this work are actually pretty easy. First off, let me say that most hardcore programmers will probably scoff at the simplicity of these examples. However, a hardcore programmer I am not, so basic tutorials are what I enjoy. Also, please know that this is not an exercise in JavaScript / Ajax. It is simply a way to provide unique CSS based on date and time.   They include examples of what the result of the code is for two different methods - the month-based CSS and the PHP + CSS Clock approaches. Their examples are just the sample uses of the code, but they also make each available for download. Check out all of the comments for even more tips!

I really need a rock-solid expand-collapse display that I can integrate with Scripting News. If you're reading this in RSS, flip over to the home page and have a look. See how the pluses and minuses work? There are a bunch of problems: 1. Doesn't work in Opera. Deal-stopper. Opera users are cool folk. 2. I don't like the indentation. I want the text flush-left. 3. Takes too long to display. I want it to be instantaneous. 4. Must be multi-level. I haven't tested the code I'm using with more than two levels. I know it can be much better, because I see it done better in lots of places.  Looking for help from people who know their Javascript. Me, I'm into other things (obviously).  Mock up a Scripting News home page with your code, and post a pointer, and we'll test it out. When it's done, everyone will be able to use it.  BTW, I know there are people from the Radio community that have stuff in this area, I just don't know how well supported the stuff is these days. It's been a while.
