RE: PHP Localtime
You don't know the users local time unless they tell you and you store it in a database.

EDIT: It's possible however with Javascript.

RE: PHP Localtime
You can't figure it out. PHP's time function is got from the server, not a browser, therefore the time(); function matches what the server's time is.

If you don't want to use timestamps, use gmtime(); which gives the correct GMT time (instead of the server's default time) :).

Edit: You could use javascript, although it can be difficult and it does contain a small amount of limitations.

RE: PHP Localtime
The reason why PHP cannot do this is because it is a server-side script, meaning it is all done from the server.  Javascript is a client side script and that is why it is very easy to do using javascript.  If you want some help, just give us the exact details of what you are after and we will head you in the right direction ;)

That's easy to find with a quick Google Search

EDIT: First result gave this:

code:
<script language="JavaScript">

<!--
// please keep these lines on when you copy the source
// made by: Nicolas - http://www.javascript-page.com

var clockID = 0;

function UpdateClock() {
   if(clockID) {
      clearTimeout(clockID);
      clockID  = 0;
   }

   var tDate = new Date();

   document.theClock.theTime.value = ""
                                   + tDate.getHours() + ":"
                                   + tDate.getMinutes() + ":"
                                   + tDate.getSeconds();
   
   clockID = setTimeout("UpdateClock()", 1000);
}
function StartClock() {
   clockID = setTimeout("UpdateClock()", 500);
}

function KillClock() {
   if(clockID) {
      clearTimeout(clockID);
      clockID  = 0;
   }
}

//-->

</script>
<body onload="StartClock()" onunload="KillClock()">
<center><form name="theClock">
<input type=text name="theTime" size=8>
<form></center>
