note 125626 added to function.date-default-timezone-get

This function is not very useful for getting the OS timezone. One way to do it is to look at the results of 'timedatectl' from the OS. You can also look at the link from /etc/localtime >file /etc/localtime /etc/localtime: symbolic link to /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles >timedatectl Local time: Thu 2020-12-24 07:11:27 PST Universal time: Thu 2020-12-24 15:11:27 UTC RTC time: Thu 2020-12-24 15:11:27 Time zone: America/Los_Angeles (PST, -0800) System clock synchronized: yes NTP service: active RTC in local TZ: no <?php $dateinfo = trim(shell_exec("timedatectl | grep -i zone: 2>/dev/null")); $dateinfoarray = explode(' ', $dateinfo); echo 'Timezone = ' . $dateinfoarray[2] .
