Subject Timestamps & UTC
Author myles@techsol.org
I am developing a large PHP application that is being served on multiple
servers for clients who are in different timezones. There are a number of
Timestamp fields in my tables, and some are set in triggers on the server.

I am trying to store all Timestamps in UTC, so that I can convert them to
the native Timezone of the user however that is fine with Timestamps that
I'm controlling in PHP, but I can't seem to see a way to convert the 'system
date/time' of the server in Firebird to UTC in a trigger when the data is
being created on the server for the user automatically in FB.

Any ideas on how to do this?
