set user timezone [closed]

Question

I have a calendar/todo app on my wordpress site. I need to be able to let users set their timezone for this. The plan is to have a front end drop down, then jquery updates the user's object.

Does anybody know what the server side api to set an individual user's timezone? Something like:

wp_update_user(array(
    'id' => $id,
    'timezone' => '+1'
));

cheers, David

There's no such thing as a user timezone per default. You can take a look at the current user data:

var_dump( $GLOBALS['current_user'] );

Btw: If you want to update user data, then change it and save the whole object. WP cares about the rest:

global $current_user;
// do stuff to the current user object
wp_update_user( $current_user );
// done!
