Example 1: This example returns the player's City & Zone. 

function outputPlayerZone(thePlayer)
    -- get the player position
    x, y, z = getElementPosition(thePlayer)
    -- get the player zone
    zone = getZoneName(x, y, z)
    -- get the player city (citiesonly as true)
    city = getZoneName(x, y, z, true)
    -- output to local player's chatbox
    outputChatBox("City: ".. city .." / Zone: ".. zone, thePlayer)
end
addCommandHandler("getloc", outputPlayerZone)

Example 2: This example will tell you what zone a specified player is in when the "getloc" console command is used. 

function scriptGetLoc ( source, command, playername ) --when getloc is called
  local thePlayer = getPlayerFromName ( playername ) --get the player from nickname
  if ( thePlayer ~= false ) then --if there is a player from the nickname
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( thePlayer )
    local location = getZoneName ( x, y, z )
	local city = getZoneName ( x, y, z, true )
    outputChatBox ( playername .. " is at " .. location .. " (" .. city .. ")", source ) --announce his zone
  else outputChatBox ( "Player does not exist" )
  end
end
addCommandHandler( "getloc", scriptGetLoc ) -- add a command "getloc" which initiates "scriptGetloc" function
