Get clients time as TIMESTAMP from PHP to SQL

Question

I am looking to find out how I can get clients local time as the timestamp when submit is pressed on my form.

My server is hosted in the US and I am in Ireland, have checked if I can change the time but this isn't possible as its a shared server. Can anyone point in the right direction to do the above?

You can set the time zone in your PHP code using the date_default_timezone_set() . The date_default_timezone_set() function sets the default timezone used by all date/time functions in the script. Then use the date() to generate the current date/time in PHP and insert that date/time in the database table.
