change time zone in time field sent by form

How can I change the time from PDT to GMT.
The following code in SpryValidationTextField.js seems to handle the time, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Peter

'time': {
validation: function(value, options) {
// HH:MM:SS T
var formatRegExp = /([hmst]+)/gi;
var valueRegExp = /(\d+|AM?|PM?)/gi;
var formatGroups = options.format.match(formatRegExp);
var valueGroups = value.match(valueRegExp);
//mast match and have same length
if (formatGroups !== null && valueGroups !== null) {
if (formatGroups.length != valueGroups.length) {
return false;
}

var hourIndex = -1;
var minuteIndex = -1;
var secondIndex = -1;
//T is AM or PM
var tIndex = -1;
var theHour = 0, theMinute = 0, theSecond = 0, theT = 'AM';
for (var i=0; i<formatGroups.length; i++) {
switch (formatGroups[i].toLowerCase()) {
case "hh":
hourIndex = i;
break;
case "mm":
minuteIndex = i;
break;
case "ss":
secondIndex = i;
break;
case "t":
case "tt":
tIndex = i;
break;
}
}
if (hourIndex != -1) {
var theHour = parseInt(valueGroups[hourIndex], 10);
if (isNaN(theHour) || theHour > (formatGroups[hourIndex] == 'HH' ? 23 : 12 )) {
return false;
}
}
if (minuteIndex != -1) {
var theMinute = parseInt(valueGroups[minuteIndex], 10);
if (isNaN(theMinute) || theMinute > 59) {
return false;
}
}
if (secondIndex != -1) {
var theSecond = parseInt(valueGroups[secondIndex], 10);
if (isNaN(theSecond) || theSecond > 59) {
return false;
}
}
if (tIndex != -1) {
var theT = valueGroups[tIndex].toUpperCase();
if (
formatGroups[tIndex].toUpperCase() == 'TT' && !/^a|pm$/i.test(theT) ||
formatGroups[tIndex].toUpperCase() == 'T' && !/^a|p$/i.test(theT)
) {
return false;
}
}
var date = new Date(2000, 0, 1, theHour + (theT.charAt(0) == 'P'?12:0), theMinute, theSecond);
return date;
} else {
return false;
}
}

I dont quite follow what you are trying to accomplish, are you trying to change the time that is displayed in an email?

In the email template file, the code that generates the time in the email is:

php:
<?php $now time(); ?><?php echo date("n-j-Y"$now); ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php echo date("g:i A T"$now); ?>




change that code to:

php:
<?php date_default_timezone_set ("Europe/London"); $now time(); ?><?php echo date("n-j-Y"$now); ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php echo date("g:i A T"$now); ?>



to change the time zone.

Hi Jason,
I got this error message when I changed the code.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: date_default_timezone_set() in /home/9/2/f/2603/2603/public_html/webassist/email/templates/Blank_8.php on line 34
any ideas?
Peter

what version of PHP is your host running? if you can, have them update the php version to php 5.
