GMT date/time format regarding exporting data to external application - Is there a way to convert the date/time datatype to recognize the user's timezone when passing to a plugin/smart service?

Tim, we have tried the local() function, which will correctly adjust the time value; however, we would like to find a way to pass the correct timezone to the plugin as well.

For example, we ran a test at 3:14pm EDT prior to implementing the local() function. The date/time displayed in our external application as 7:14pm GMT. After using the local() function, it displayed as 3:14pm GMT.

As you can see, the time updates correctly with this function, but it still displays externally as GMT.
