Hello everyone.
I am creating a JavaScript project which will allow users to see what
time it is in other countries. I am wondering if there's any way to
have the server work this out, without having to update a database
constantly with the times and dates that certain countries set their
clocks back or forward.
Can this be done, or do I need to connect to a time server? Ideally, I
need a time server that will return a JavaScript object containing the
information I need, but I don't think one exists.
Please could someone suggest the steps I need to take to quickly
obtain the correct time for any given country, which will take DST
into account? Sadly, to my knowledge, the UK is the only country that
has hard-coded rules for when the clocks are changed, where as it
seems to be a political thing for all other countries.
If I have to run a database with this information, then so be it, but
it seems like a lot of manual work, and I'm not sure how often I'd
need to update it.
Many thanks in advance.
Daz.
