I have a problem in that dates are stored as UTC in my dataase. I.e. without timezone.
 
What I want to do: is to get this date from the server and add the server's current time zone to it. Then I will present a list of dates and times to the user in their time-zone.  How can I do this? I have been trying to get the timezone from now() and adding it but I can't see how.
 
Of course this doesn't account for daylight saving.
 
Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Andrew
