Now, before you mark this as a duplicate, please note that all the useful answers in the possible duplicate provide functions which work in relation to the current system time, which I cannot accept.
What I want, is that the current time in, say, for example, New York, be consistent to all users, no matter what their time settings are.
For example, I have two computers here, and one is 3 seconds behind the other, and this leaves an unacceptable gap, as my task involve pinpoint precision (slightly exaggerated, but you know what I mean).
How can I overcome this? Must I get the server time and somehow convert it? If so, I'm using PHP.

Hope to not be wrong but javascript is loaded on user machine, not on the server so you will allway get the visitor date/time using javascript. you can use php to get the date/time because is loaded on the server and pass the dates to javascript.
Hope this help
