It is probably best to include a check for daylight savings time in the proposed function: <?php /* Takes a GMT offset (in hours) and returns a timezone name */ function tz_offset_to_name($offset) { $isDst = (bool)date('I'); $offset *= 3600; // convert hour offset to seconds $abbrarray = timezone_abbreviations_list(); foreach ($abbrarray as $abbr) { foreach ($abbr as $city) { if ((bool)$city['dst'] == $isDst && $city['offset'] == $offset) { return $city['timezone_id']; } } } return FALSE; } ?> ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 66.138.198.129 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.timezone-name-from-abbr.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/89136 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89136/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89136/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89136/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89136/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89136/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89136/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89136 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/89136 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
