Converting local time to UTC

[Elie Grouchko]

Hi All

1. I need to convert the local-time of the server on which I run my website
to UTC and I don't want to rely on the server local time and timezone (i.e.
I don't want to hardcode the timezone information), is there a generic way
to do this?
2. Is there a general for converting time between timezones in ASP?

Many thanks

Use an ASP jscript function:

<%
'' vbscript:
response.write currentUTC()
%>

<script language=jscript runat=server>
function currentUTC(){
var d, s;
d = new Date();
s = "Server current UTC time is: ";
s += d.toUTCString();
return(s);
}
</script>

This relies on the client's computer time being correct, I'm looking for a
solution that doesn't rely on the client settings.

No, you are wrong, Elie.

The above is totally serverside code,
no clientside code or clock is involved.
