I believe he's referring to sys/time.h, but this introduces

But maintaining this and a Windows alternative, and I have no idea
what that is, is not worth it IMO.
<time.h> is present in *nix, Windows, and probably everywhere php
runs. As it provides mktime/gmtime/localtime, it should be possible
to portably deal with timezones.
You seem to be misunderstanding what "portable" means here. It doesn't
mean "compiles and runs on each system", it means "reliably produces
predictable and identical results on each target system". The case with
*time system functions is very far from that.
