Providing more advanced links to The Time Zone Converter

Your site's visitors may be interested in time conversions related to specific time zones. If so, you may call the Time Zone Converter "pre-loaded" to provide the type of conversion you need. To do this, replace the href string that calls the Time Zone Converter with one that includes the required parameters. For example, to convert the current time from Singapore time to US Pacific time, use the following:

href="http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc?zone=Asia/Singapore&tozone=US/Pacific&now=1"

The information after the '?' is the information you want to load into the converter in the format:

field=value

Just remember to begin your field definitions with a ? and to separate field=value pairs with the &.

The following table lists the complete set of fields that you may use to call the converter:

Field Name Description Appropriate Values
zone from time zone any valid time zone*
tozone to time zone any valid time zone*
now use current date/time 0 or 1
0 clears the checkbox, 1 sets the checkbox
(use only when date/time fields, below, are not specified)
month month a number between 1 and 12 with 1=Jan, 2=Feb, etc.
day day of the month a number between 1 and 31
year year 4 digit number between 1970 and 2037
showtime time 24-hour time in the format HH:MM:SS
* For a list of all valid time zones, visit the Time Zone Reference Card. You may also look up time zones by country.


Examples:

(1) Convert 08:00:00 January 15, 1999 in Europe/Paris to GMT:

href="http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc?zone=Europe/Paris&tozone=GMT&month=1&day=15&year=1999&showtime=08:00:00"

Note: Your browser window may split the above line. It should be written as one single line of text. Also, the 'now' field is not used when the date and time fields are specified.

(2) Show the current time in Austrailia/Sydney:

href="http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc?zone=Australia/Sydney&tozone=Australia/Sydney&now=1"

Note: Your browser window may split the above line. It should be written as one single line of text. Also, If the zone and tozone fields are equal, only the time in that time zone is displayed.
