when someone tries to register on my website, in the regiter form there is a option that asks for Time Zone*.

If a user selects a timezone GMT+5.30 and submits the next page shows it as GMT+5.

Check it here

pls let me know how to correct this

Well it seems this is not a problem only on my site as on all aoops related sites where i have registered including xuups.com, xoops.org, http://mark.boyden.name and so on have the same issue. The problem exists in 2.3 series also. Just try and register on any XOOPS based site with timezone as gmt+5.30 and then check the timezone in the new registered account. You will find that the account gets registered with a default timezone as gmt+5.

Any fixes for this. Kindly help

It is a bug:
In register.php the value from the form
<option value="5.5" selected="selected">(GMT+5:30) Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, New Delhioption>

is rounded through an intval function:
$timezone_offset = isset($_POST['timezone_offset']) ? intval($_POST['timezone_offset']) : $xoopsConfig['default_TZ'];

Solution could be to make the option values multiplied by 10 (eg 55 for Mumbai)and divide after the validation with 10 to have the correct offset.
$timezone_offset = isset($_POST['timezone_offset']) ? intval($_POST['timezone_offset'])/10 : $xoopsConfig['default_TZ'];

Now it seems the timezone is automatically set to default ie GMT.

Btw i am also using the user profile module for user registration so will i need to make some changes in the user profile module to get this to work.

Humm,the easiest way would be to use floatval instead.
$timezone_offset = isset($_POST['timezone_offset']) ? floatval($_POST['timezone_offset']) : $xoopsConfig['default_TZ'];

Thanks ghia,

but I have tried this but i still am getting timezone as GMT no matter what the timezone is set during registration.

I am using user profile module for handling registration process, so do you think i will need to make some changes in the user profile module as well.

Did you set a default value for the timezone_offset field (/modules/profile/admin/field.php)?
I did a check here (on 2.3.1) and had set the default as Mumbai and when I register once unchanged and once changed to Tehran (+3.5) and in both cases the selected value was present after the registration in the profile.
For the field, I had set the default value as +5.5 and the form for it as basic. It appears on the first form as mandatory.
What was your XOOPS and profile version?
