you can use 

  $dateTimeZoneJapan = new DateTimeZone("America/Adak");
  $timeOffset = $dateTimeZoneJapan->getOffset( new DateTime("now", new DateTimeZone("UTC"))  );
if ($timeOffset < 0){ //if time offset is negative
  echo "-".gmdate("H", -$timeOffset);
}else{
  echo gmdate("H", $timeOffset); //H will give number of hours. 
}

this will give you time zone offset in seconds on success or FALSE on failure.
