The result of that function would depend on where the server is installed, not where the client is accessing it from, right?
Close but no cigar! It's how the server is configured, not where it is installed. But essentially correct, the PHP datetime functions use the server datetime not the client.

Although I am in Haifa, Israel (GMT+2), when I go to a page with date("e") I get "America/New_York" displayed. To confirm, could some users tell me what output they get on: http://what-is-what.com/what_time_is_it.php Let me know where you are in the world, and what timezone you are in to confirm/ deny the correctness of the php date function. Any advise on how to get the correct user's timezone would be most appreciated. Note: I have considered matching the users' IP against a database, but I'd prefer a simpler method, without the overhead of such a database. Thanks in advance.
