I'm using smarty template engine right now.

I'm wondering how display date and time from different timezone. Presently I store the EX: SENT DATE, into the database on UNIX Time format on the GMT timezone.

When I want to display the SENT DATE I put this code in the .TPL file.
Code:
{$message_search_result[i].MESSAGE_SENT_DATE|date_format:"$date_format %I:%M %p"}
This will output

Quote:
25/06/2014 06:00 PM

Inside the $date_format variable I have %d/%m/%Y

So how can I get this value to display depending on a selected timezone.

You must set necessary timezone before passing control to Smarty.

What I think i'm gonna do calculate each time zone difference in seconde from the GMT. So it's gonna look like this.
Code:

{($message_search_result[i].MESSAGE_SENT_DATE$TIMEZONE)|date_format:"$date_format %I:%M %p"}


In the variable $TIMEZONE i'm gonna put EX : -3600

Do you think it's the best way to do it?

If you keep trying to invent wheels, obligatory facepalm will be added to the list.

Just make sure you are using UTC times internally.
Then converting them to any other timezone will not be a problem.
