I am developing an international software that acts as a simple project management software and I face a problem Have to do This is about the problem, date / hour and time zone.
When messages are sent from one time zone to another time zone, then I can store UTC (GMT) time in my database and then display it differently according to user's time. But this can not be done when I only work with date.
If I say that the work is till March 21. Should I consider that this date can be 20 or 22 in some other countries? What is your advice on this problem?
Assume that a user in New York determines a fixed date for the project "anytime Monday January 26 "It means" any time from 0600 to Monday 26 January to 0600 Tuesday 27 January "in Brussels" and sometimes 2000 Sunday 25 January to 2000 Monday 26 January "In LA
Therefore Completing the work on Monday 26 in 2100 is fine in Brussels and NY, but it's too late in LA! / P>
A potential work almost never works with the date. If time is not specified, then set it at 0000 hrs or 2400 hrs on the specified date in user's timezone.
Users may have to deal with a weird deadline / time, but speaking who works internationally, he goes with a little area.
