I had a similiar situation at my last job.

Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time for more
information to get you started.
You can either create a function in your database to calculate the correct
adjusted time or a method in your application.
Hello mazdotnet,

Hi guys,

I have to make a event signup page for our company that would display
the event time/date in 3 different time zones (Eastern - New York,
Central - Chicago, and Pacific - San Francisco). To do this. I
convert the inputed date from local time zone and convert it into UTC
and store it in the database (correct me if I'm wrong please). Next to
display it I would add the correct time zone difference value (-5 for
Eastern). How to do I handle the daylight saving time though? For
example the -5 Eastern time is right now -4. Is there a way to do this
automatically? Any samples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
M.
