If only it were that easy. Due to local preferences some TZs do not
observe Daylight Savings time so the "Time difference" depends a lot
on what the date is and what rules that TZ uses to calculate the
offset.
I am in the process of writing an application (not in PHP) that will
give the correct offset from GMT for a given time and date and it is
pretty complex.
I am basing my application on the data at ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/
which has a list of all time zones, offsets and how to determine if
you are in Standard or Daylight Savings time. It also looks like it
has some C code and perl (I think) to parse the data but I don't know
either of these so I am going to roll my own.
