note 107090 added to function.timezone-abbreviations-list

Here is a way to do what dustianalan posted on 21-Apr-2010 but with PHP versions below 5.2 where you don't have the new DateTime class. Same basic concept, format a date in the time zone specified and only show the time zone abbreviation. I recommend you store the current default time zone in a variable before executing this code and restoring it after. <?php $previousDefaultTimeZone = date_default_timezone_get(); date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles'); echo date('T'); date_default_timezone_set($previousDefaultTimeZone) ?> Will echo PST or PDT. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 64.39.108.115 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.timezone-abbreviations-list.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/107090 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107090/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107090/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107090/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107090/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107090/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107090/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107090 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/107090 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
