You can't get a time zone from just an IP address.

You need location information - latitude and longitude. If you are communicating with a mobile device, you may be able to get these through GPS or cell-tower triangulation.

Once you have coordinates, you can use one of the techniques outlined here.

You could consider using a service that performs IP geolocation to get coordinates from the IP address. However, this is unreliable because you might not have the true IP address of the end-user. You might be looking at the IP address of a proxy server or router in some other time zone.

This does not answer the question. The code isn't being executed on the local machine; the timezone needs to be determined from the IP address. – Esoteric Screen Name Aug 13 '13 at 17:53
