I believe this task is usually solved using GMT internally for all dates
and doing conversion to client time zone when printing. You have some
functions to work with Greenwich time:

gmdate - Format a GMT/UTC date/time
gmmktime - Get UNIX timestamp for a GMT date
gmstrftime - Format a GMT/UTC time/date according to locale settings
