GMT to EST and EST to GMT

nimishan over 8 years ago

Hi,

I wanted to know the functions which helps me convert the datetime from GMT to EST and vice versa.

I need this logic to handle service Json response and request which deals with date in EST timezone.

Thanks in advance,
Nimisha.

Also, I forget the specifics but in the past I've found it helps a lot to cast a date to string using tostring() when dealing with JSON conversion.
