how can set timezone dynamically as client timezone

Question

Is it possible to set timezone as client's timezone when visit my page? let say if anyone visit my site from america then my script would be

date_default_timezone_set($dynamic_timezone);//this would be as follows
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');

again anyone visit my site from dhaka then

date_default_timezone_set($dynamic_timezone);//this would be as follows
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Dhaka');

I have found a solution which is JS script able to get client timezone. But how can I send the timezone in date_default_timezone_set() or any other solution? I need this so that user can see own local datetime (datetime come from my mysql timestamp field)

You can use the Date Object. This piece of code returns the current time from the clients browser, Hence your clients will see their local-time.

currentTime = new Date();
time = currentTime.getTime();
hours = currentTime.getHours();
