Hi Experts ,

Am working on a projects that creates tickets and stores it in the data base we also store the date at witch the ticket is created .

Tickets date of creation is pretty important as we generate reports base on "Ticket Creation Date".

Our site is hosted in USA and we work in India . So the problem is that when we test our code in India it works perfectly OK .

But when we host it the ticket creation date changes , depending upon the date time difference between India and USA. ( works normally and consistently but with date time difference!!! )

Am trying to do something like this :


The Output : dateString = 18/02/2010
date Wed Feb 17 12:30:00 CST 2010
2010-02-17

See what the problem is i am getting what i want in the variable "dateString" ("IST" date) , but as soon as a try to parse it into Mysql date for insertion then again i get (US date)
that i do not want to insert into my data base .

I am doing this so that i parse it in the proper MySql format

In short i want to insert is this : 18/02/2010 (2010-02-18)
but instead the value getting inserted is : 2010-02-17

What is it that am doing wrong . What should i be doing instead?

Please help me out.

Regards,
