Could you please tell me what is UTC time exactly...

I'm currently developing a web application and don't know how to display the correct time to my user...

What's the best solution for that?

  • UTC time exactly, can be explained by the good old wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time But to display the correct UTC time to a user, we will need to know at minimum, what programming language you need it in. – Aurora Nov 25 '11 at 01:00

Its basically a standard time that you can use that's universal. It means you can record when things happen without worrying about the local time.

However, for it to be useful for display, you have to convert the UTC time back to a local time.
