How to deal with the time zone difference

[rmm5t]

@BoumBam is correct. You must format your time stamp into ISO8601 format for timeago to work. This is pretty standard for any type of library like this.

I used mysql function UTC_TIMESTAMP() to store the dateTime.

like that: 2009-12-01 00:00:00.

Hi, I'm now having the exact same problem, have you found any solution to this?

@DanielDanielDanielD
It is not a problem with jquery-timeago.

It is with php.

Here is how I did:

echo <time class='timeago' datetime='".date(DATE_ISO8601, strtotime($date); )."'></time>;

$date is a DATE_TIME.

Sorry for the late answer

Hi, thanks for your reply,

Your answer is still relevant because I have not yet found a solution to the problem.
I am currently working on a solution through moment.js timezone but also without success.

My project was built in a .NET environment but I believe it should not interfere with reading the date and time, can you please tell me in what format your date and time come from the database?

Thanks for the help, I just found an answer to this :)

Since in my website the timezone is per content posted on the website and not per user timezone then I had to add to each message on the website a timezone signature in DB, then calculate with the moment.js timezone directory when it is created anywhere according to the customer's timezone.
