Use JavaScript to get the current date and time in the client's browser, and send that value back to the server using a GET or POST. This isn't complete, but it will give you the idea:
<BODY onLoad="form.currentDate = new Date()">
<FORM NAME="form" METHOD="post">
<INPUT NAME="currentDate" TYPE="hidden">
</FORM>
</BODY>
