I second that. My company has an IP address on the mainland which is
our internet gateway, but on the azorean islands the time zone is
different.

Hmm... in $_SERVER array you get a client IP so You know client coutry. if exists a list of ip numbers and coutries should be exists list coutries and timezones too, so it should be easy. Eventually you may create short list of this countries what will be visitors from (or only biggest coutries). The IP address isn't very reliable though. Many global corporations only have a couple of external gateways through which all traffic goes. A user in the UK could very well have their visable IP address located in the US.
