You're assuming a given user's local time is set to whatever's on the
NOAA time zone table you've linked.

For me, your iptest.php page is returning this:

> Country Name: United States
> Country Code: US
> Region: New York
> ...
> Remote Time Zone: -04:00
> ...
> Linux Test: -04:0038Linux

But on my own system `date +%:z%V$(uname)` returns this:

> +00:0038Linux

Which is completely different. Because I have my timezone set to UTC,
my local time is UTC. Your registration system doesn't account for this
possibility.

Sure, I could look up the time offset of -04:00 and insert it manually,
but I would never have guessed I needed to do such a thing had I not
seen your email here. I suspect that's going to be a problem for future
members.
