Note Submitter: Anonymous ---- 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.
