need php code to return abbreviated timezone of logged in user

[Jakeman]

Example... I'm logged in. My offset in my options is set to Pacific Standard Time, so the return value I want would be "PST".

PHP's date() function has a parameter ("T") that returns the abbreviated time zone of the local machine, but I don't see anything that I can feed an integer offset and have it return a time zone.

Am I going to have to write my own conversion function for this?

Don't know of any way, but an important note:

The "T" argument to the date() function displays timezone. The actual formatting appears to be OS dependent. On my Win32 machine it displays "Eastern Standard Time" and my UNIX server shows "EST".

Maybe http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setlocale.php ?
