get date with timezone javascript - php

Question

I want to compare date and with date in user timezone after user's login.
I get user's timezone with php.
now How to I take current date/time in javascript of user's timezone current time.
#everyone answered:
I don't need current local system timezone or offset in seconds.
I need users current time with dynamic time I get in php.
For example:
I have 'Asia/Kolkata' or 'America/Denver' or whatever that will be dynamic by php.
Now I can save it to hidden value so that I can get it with Javascript
and than I need current date of this timezone same like Javascript gives date object.

JavaScript uses the system's time zone. You can get the offset via GetTimezoneOffset

Try like this
<script>
var date = '<?php echo date("Y/m/d");?>';
alert(date);
</script>
deeply you can also try like this
var today = new Date();
var localoffset = -(today.getTimezoneOffset()/60);
var destoffset = -4;
var offset = destoffset-localoffset;
var d = new Date( new Date().getTime() + offset * 3600 * 1000);
alert(d);
there you can get

Answer 4

Try this:
// date() function
var currDate = new Date()
var n = currDate.getTimezoneOffset();

Answer 5

You can send UTC string
strtotime("2013-02-08 00:00:00");
After that you would have seconsd, that you can convert simple to JS Date:
var utcString = 1360263600 /*AJAX result must be here*/;
new Date(utcString*1000);

Answer 6

You can use Date Object of JavaScript to get user's local system..
for example you can use following:
var d = new Date();
var time = d.getTime();
alert(time);
this will alert the the number of milliseconds since midnight.
You can send this time to your server and compare the both.
For more functions and details you can visit JavaScript Date Object

Answer 7

I am from Taiwan and it returns "+8" for me.
Working example
JS
function timezone() {
var offset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset();
var minutes = Math.abs(offset);
var hours = Math.floor(minutes / 60);
var prefix = offset < 0 ? "+" : "-";
return prefix+hours;
}
$('#result1').html(timezone());
HTML
<div id="result"></div>
Result
+8

Answer 8

I would recommend to use moment.js with moment timezone.
Then you can do something like:
moment().tz("Asia/Kolkata").format();
