https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/timezone/json?location=39.6034810,-119.6822510&timestamp=1331766000&sensor=false

I have tried get data from URL with file_get_contents.

$json_url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/timezone/json?location=39.6034810,-119.6822510&timestamp=1331766000&sensor=false';

echo $obj->timeZoneId;

You forgot the s in the url:

$json_url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/timezone/json?location=39.6034810,-119.6822510&timestamp=1331766000&sensor=false';
$json = file_get_contents($json_url);
$obj = json_decode($json);
echo $obj->timeZoneId;

This works on my PC.

    $json_url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/timezone/json?location=39.6034810,-119.6822510&timestamp=1331766000&sensor=false'; 

    $json = file_get_contents($json_url);
    $data = json_decode($json, TRUE);
    echo $data['timeZoneId'];

Try this i think this might help. The problem is with json_decode.

Change your url from:

$json_url = 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/timezone/json?location=39.6034810,-119.6822510&timestamp=1331766000&sensor=false';

to this:

$json_url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/timezone/json?location=39.6034810,-119.6822510&timestamp=1331766000&sensor=false';

With http you are getting REQUEST_DENIED.
