Answer 1

You can use GeoIP based services http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.geoip.php

Or

You can use online services that gives timezone of the IP that you supply in request

i.e.

$tags = get_meta_tags('http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation&template=php3.txt&IpAddress=94.55.180.139'); 
echo $tags['timezone'];
