Adding Timezone Support to a PHP based production app

I have an app with users in one timezone with the date / time stored in their location. Now there are more users in more locations and I would like to support them - ideally without changing to historical data.

At the moment the app uses a time offset field to allow two people to see one note expressed in their timezone.

There are two use cases for this one is the free/busy calendar, the other is the meeting invite ICS file.

At the moment I would like to support ICS which are GMT based.

My guess is that:

  • Assign each user to their own timezone
  • I take the diary row ($start_date, $start_time) and convert it to a GMT timestamp
  • Make the ICS file

I am keen to hear of better solutions or ideas.

How to present Rails form datetime select in different time zone?

I have a Rails application with a default time zone of UTC. This works fine for almost everything. Now I have a situation where I would like to present the values in a datetime_select offset by a specific time zone. As far as I know, this helper does not have an option to specify the time zone that is used when persisting this data. When the form is submitted, it only sends the year, month, day, hour, and minute fields. ActiveRecord is responsible for converting these values into the time zone configured for the application. In this case, I want to change the time zone for only these fields so that it is localized to the user (but still store the correct UTC time). How can I make this change?

How to connect to a ODBC Data Source with SSL for my RoR App?

My Ruby on Rails App needs to connect to a ODBC Datasource that has SSL only enabled.

Can somebody give me an example of connecting to a ODBC Source with SSL?

I constantly get SSL required error. I don't see the option of passing SSL Certificates via UnixODBC. May be something I am missing.
