If all you need to worry about is PST it's fairly easy - subtract 8 hours from GMT (UTC-0). Daylight Saving Time changes that to GMT - 7 hours. The dates vary each year, beginning on the first Sunday in April and ending on the last Sunday in October. I believe the change officially occurs at 1:00AM on these dates.

If you're coding for the general case, you're in for a fun time. The basic time zone conversion isn't too bad - each time zone around the world is represented as UTC +/- N, where N is the number of time zones east or west of Greenwich, or UTC-0. But determining which areas to include in Daylight Saving Time (the seasonal adjustment you mentioned) is going to be awful. There are countries that don't use it, and states/provinces/counties/cities etc that ignore it even though their countries observe the change. I'd start with coding the basic conversion based on time zones - some world maps include that information - then use Google to search out areas that don't observe the change with seasons and add them to a list of excluded regions. You may also have to account for differing dates for the time change. It may be possible, and definitely worth the time spent searching for it, to find a freely available script on the web that someone has already invested the time and research into creating.

If you do end up coding your own, it would make a very nice article for CP - I'd love to see it. Good luck!Big Grin | :-D
