DateTimeZone::getOffset
Getting a timezone's offset and other data at a specified point in time (now, for example) using the new PHP5.3 parameters:
<?php
$theTime = time(); # specific date/time we're checking, in epoch seconds.
$tz = new DateTimeZone('America/Los_Angeles');
$transition = $tz->getTransitions($theTime,$theTime);
# only one array should be returned into $transition. Now get the data:
$offset = $transition[0]['offset'];
$abbr = $transition[0]['abbr'];
?>
Before PHP5.3, you'd have to loop through all of the Transitions up until the current point in time, which would be a very inefficient process.
