         $offset = tz_offset($TZ);

"tz2zone()" parses the TZ environment variable and returns a timezone string suitable for inclusion in date-like output. It opionally takes a timezone string, a time, and a is-dst flag.

"tz_local_offset()" determins the offset from GMT time in seconds. It only does the calculation once.

"tz_offset()" determines the offset from GMT in seconds of a specified timezone.

"tz_name()" determines the name of the timezone based on its offset
