Certainly. Here is how: • Download the code from here and put it on your server. The code is written in PHP. PHP must be configured and work properly on your server. • In your HTML for the clock change addresses of all requests accordingly so that they go to your server. Test the clock. If everything is configured correctly the clock should work at this point. • Download the latest zoneinfo DATA file from this FTP site: ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ The name of the file is tzdataYYYYX.tar.gz, where YYYY stand for a year, and X is a letter (a-z) indicating the current year iteration of the data file, for example: tzdata2007g.tar.gz. • Unpack the files and drop them down into the data section in Flash World Clock folder on your server. You should do it to keep your clocks in sync with the recent time zone changes in the world. zoneinfo home page – http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.
