  • Answer:

    If you're on *nix, call the system's date using http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.popen.php: popen("date +%Z");

If you're using a Linux/Unix based hosting platform, you could use the output of the date command with the "alphabetic time zone abbreviation" formatter as such: $systemTimeZone = system('date +%Z'); However, it should be noted that you shouldn't necessarily rely on the system's timezone and that you should instead use http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php (or the date.timezone php.ini setting) to set the required timezone.
