Note Submitter: Master Tablu ---- I think this function is superior to the other two below. It first asks timezone_name_from_abbr for a name. If one is not found, we use the list to fill in the gap: <?php function getTZName($offset) { $isDst = date('I'); $offset *= 3600; $zone = timezone_name_from_abbr('', $offset, $isDst); if ($zone === false) { foreach (timezone_abbreviations_list() as $abbr) { foreach ($abbr as $city) { if ($city['timezone_id'] !== null && (bool)$city['dst'] == (bool)$isDst && $city['offset'] == $offset) { $zone = $city['timezone_id']; } } } } return $zone; } ?>
