_Added in 1.9.0_ *$timezone* Returns the local timezone setting in seconds. Positive is West/Earlier than UTC, negative is East/Later than UTC. Returns your local timezone relative to "UTC":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC in seconds, adjusted by $daylight. Positive is west/earlier than UTC zone, negative is east/later than UTC. Total of $timezone + $daylight is always the same while your time zone settings are not changed. During winter, New York City has $timezone = 18000 $daylight = 0. During summer, these values change to $timezone = 14400 $daylight = 3600 //echo -a $gmt is the same as $calc($ctime + $timezone) year round (except for low gmt values requiring ctime be negative) see also [[$daylight]] [[$asctime]] [[$gmt]] [[$ctime]]
