The majority of the world is in a time zone different to your server. How is
your particular position different?

What? What scripts? And why does the time matter?

Because this particular site is only to be used in a single country
with a single time zone.

The time zone matters because the content do be delivered will be hour
sensitive.

So, i will suggest, store GMT time in your database and add your time
difference when you are using it through script. Do the same with
server time. Convert it to gmt time and manage the difference. This
way you are free from any future change.

Probably the WORST solution in this case. Rik's response is much better.

I'd say so, provided you cater to one specific timezone. Be aware that one
uses dates/times for a database setting the timezone of the connection
would be advisable:
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/time-zone-support.html>

If you have a big international page, storing datetime from posts at a
forum for instance could give funky results, having replies from an
earlier timezone (12:00 for instance) before those from a later one
(11:00). In that case, sticking with a default timezone for storing, and
altering/recalculating on display for a user in a specific timezone (or
just explicatly mentioning the used timezone in case of a known more savvy
public) might be better.

True, Rik, if you need multiple timezones. But the op indicated the
target audience was all in one timezone - which makes your solution much
superior.
