I'm using Zend_Date to manage dates/times in a scheduling app.

The only way I'm able to determine the user's Timezone is via Javascript which only gives a Timezone Offset. Zend_Date only seems to take Timezones in the 'America/New_York' format.

Is there a way to get the users timezone in this format or set the Timezone Offset with Zend_Date?

Thanks!
