Possible Duplicates:
Does PHP time() return a GMT/UTC Timestamp?
What's the best way to manage dates across PHP, MySQL, etc?
I want to store timestamps and then format them according to say, the user's timezone preference.
But I don't fully understand what the number returned by time() is.
Does it depend on the machine's timezone config?
Should I standarize it to UTC+0 before storing it?
If I use the same unix timestamp in different machines (different time zones) and format it with date(), will I have the same time (I don't mean the same format, but the same point in time)
