/**
 * This is how wordpress gets the current date and time
 * as per the timezone setting used in the WP-Admin settings
 * @see /wp-admin/options-general.php:160
 */
$now = date_create( date_i18n( 'Y-m-d H:i:s' ) );

You can echo the time zone like I have set the time zone to India

      <?php 
         if(empty($_GET['useroffset'])){ 
            echo '<SCRIPT Language="JavaScript"> 
                  var curDateTime = new Date() 
                  document.write("GMT Offset for your time zone is ") 
                  document.write(-(curDateTime.getTimezoneOffset()/60)) 
                 </SCRIPT>'; 
         } 
         elseif(is_numeric($_GET['useroffset'])){ 
            $useroffset = $_GET['useroffset']; 
            echo $useroffset; 
         } 
     ?>

New EDIT on requirement

You need the time on the client which you can get from Javascript using:

d=new Date();
offset=d.getTimezoneOffset();

Which returns the users offset from GMT in minutes. Pass this to your PHP (AJAX) and use something like:

  $zero = 0;
  $timenow = date("D d M Y H:i:s");
  $tserver = strtotime($timenow, $zero);
  $timenow .= " UTC";
  $tUTC = strtotime($timenow, $zero);
  $diff = ($tserver - $tUTC)/60;
//  echo("Client Difference:" . $offset . " Server Difference:" . $diff);
  $offset =  $diff - $offset;

This gives you the offset between the server and the client which you can then apply to your calculations.

I'm using this code:

<?php
        if (date_default_timezone_get()) {

            echo 'Current Time in  ' . date_default_timezone_get() . ':';

        }
?>

Have a look at this
