问题


Most sites need some way to show the dates on the site in the users preferred timezone. Below are two lists that I found and then one method using the built in PHP DateTime class in PHP 5.

I need help knowing which of these would be the best to attempt to use when trying to get the UTC offset from the user on register.

One:

<option value="-12">[UTC - 12] Baker Island Time</option>
<option value="-11">[UTC - 11] Niue Time, Samoa Standard Time</option>
<option value="-10">[UTC - 10] Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time, Cook Island Time</option>
<option value="-9.5">[UTC - 9:30] Marquesas Islands Time</option>
<option value="-9">[UTC - 9] Alaska Standard Time, Gambier Island Time</option>
<option value="-8">[UTC - 8] Pacific Standard Time</option>
<option value="-7">[UTC - 7] Mountain Standard Time</option>
<option value="-6">[UTC - 6] Central Standard Time</option>
<option value="-5">[UTC - 5] Eastern Standard Time</option>
<option value="-4.5">[UTC - 4:30] Venezuelan Standard Time</option>
<option value="-4">[UTC - 4] Atlantic Standard Time</option>
<option value="-3.5">[UTC - 3:30] Newfoundland Standard Time</option>
<option value="-3">[UTC - 3] Amazon Standard Time, Central Greenland Time</option>
<option value="-2">[UTC - 2] Fernando de Noronha Time, South Georgia &amp; the South Sandwich Islands Time</option>
<option value="-1">[UTC - 1] Azores Standard Time, Cape Verde Time, Eastern Greenland Time</option>
<option value="0" selected="selected">[UTC] Western European Time, Greenwich Mean Time</option>
<option value="1">[UTC + 1] Central European Time, West African Time</option>
<option value="2">[UTC + 2] Eastern European Time, Central African Time</option>
<option value="3">[UTC + 3] Moscow Standard Time, Eastern African Time</option>
<option value="3.5">[UTC + 3:30] Iran Standard Time</option>
<option value="4">[UTC + 4] Gulf Standard Time, Samara Standard Time</option>
<option value="4.5">[UTC + 4:30] Afghanistan Time</option>
<option value="5">[UTC + 5] Pakistan Standard Time, Yekaterinburg Standard Time</option>
<option value="5.5">[UTC + 5:30] Indian Standard Time, Sri Lanka Time</option>
<option value="5.75">[UTC + 5:45] Nepal Time</option>
<option value="6">[UTC + 6] Bangladesh Time, Bhutan Time, Novosibirsk Standard Time</option>
<option value="6.5">[UTC + 6:30] Cocos Islands Time, Myanmar Time</option>
<option value="7">[UTC + 7] Indochina Time, Krasnoyarsk Standard Time</option>
<option value="8">[UTC + 8] Chinese Standard Time, Australian Western Standard Time, Irkutsk Standard Time</option>
<option value="8.75">[UTC + 8:45] Southeastern Western Australia Standard Time</option>
<option value="9">[UTC + 9] Japan Standard Time, Korea Standard Time, Chita Standard Time</option>
<option value="9.5">[UTC + 9:30] Australian Central Standard Time</option>
<option value="10">[UTC + 10] Australian Eastern Standard Time, Vladivostok Standard Time</option>
<option value="10.5">[UTC + 10:30] Lord Howe Standard Time</option>
<option value="11">[UTC + 11] Solomon Island Time, Magadan Standard Time</option>
<option value="11.5">[UTC + 11:30] Norfolk Island Time</option>
<option value="12">[UTC + 12] New Zealand Time, Fiji Time, Kamchatka Standard Time</option>
<option value="12.75">[UTC + 12:45] Chatham Islands Time</option>
<option value="13">[UTC + 13] Tonga Time, Phoenix Islands Time</option>
<option value="14">[UTC + 14] Line Island Time</option>

Or just using PHP itself:

$timezones = DateTimeZone::listAbbreviations();

$cities = array();
foreach( $timezones as $key => $zones )
{
    foreach( $zones as $id => $zone )
    {
        /**
         * Only get timezones explicitely not part of "Others".
         * @see http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.others.php
         */
        if ( preg_match( '/^(America|Antartica|Arctic|Asia|Atlantic|Europe|Indian|Pacific)\//', $zone['timezone_id'] ) 
            && $zone['timezone_id']) {
            $cities[$zone['timezone_id']][] = $key;
        }
    }
}

// For each city, have a comma separated list of all possible timezones for that city.
foreach( $cities as $key => $value )
    $cities[$key] = join( ', ', $value);

// Only keep one city (the first and also most important) for each set of possibilities. 
$cities = array_unique( $cities );

// Sort by area/city name.
ksort( $cities );

It seems like the last one would be the safest as it would grow with the PHP release being used. You could also flip that array around when needed to tie timezones to city names.


回答1:


I would do it in PHP, except I would avoid doing preg_match 100 some times and do this to generate your list.

$tzlist = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(DateTimeZone::ALL);

Also, I would use PHP's names for the 'timezones' and forget about GMT offsets, which will change based on DST. Code like that in phpbb is only that way b/c they are still supporting PHP4 and can't rely on the DateTime or DateTimeZone objects being there.

Following user210179's example above, I've written the following function to generate me a list of all timezones with their offsets:

function generate_timezone_list()
{
    static $regions = array(
        DateTimeZone::AFRICA,
        DateTimeZone::AMERICA,
        DateTimeZone::ANTARCTICA,
        DateTimeZone::ASIA,
        DateTimeZone::ATLANTIC,
        DateTimeZone::AUSTRALIA,
        DateTimeZone::EUROPE,
        DateTimeZone::INDIAN,
        DateTimeZone::PACIFIC,
    );

    $timezones = array();
    foreach( $regions as $region )
    {
        $timezones = array_merge( $timezones, DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers( $region ) );
    }

    $timezone_offsets = array();
    foreach( $timezones as $timezone )
    {
        $tz = new DateTimeZone($timezone);
        $timezone_offsets[$timezone] = $tz->getOffset(new DateTime);
    }

    // sort timezone by offset
    asort($timezone_offsets);

    $timezone_list = array();
    foreach( $timezone_offsets as $timezone => $offset )
    {
        $offset_prefix = $offset < 0 ? '-' : '+';
        $offset_formatted = gmdate( 'H:i', abs($offset) );

        $pretty_offset = "UTC${offset_prefix}${offset_formatted}";

        $timezone_list[$timezone] = "(${pretty_offset}) $timezone";
    }

    return $timezone_list;
}

This will generate an array looking like:

[Pacific/Midway] => (UTC-11:00) Pacific/Midway
[Pacific/Pago_Pago] => (UTC-11:00) Pacific/Pago_Pago
[Pacific/Niue] => (UTC-11:00) Pacific/Niue
[Pacific/Honolulu] => (UTC-10:00) Pacific/Honolulu
[Pacific/Fakaofo] => (UTC-10:00) Pacific/Fakaofo
…

It's currently sorted by offsets, but you can easily sort by the timezone name by doing a ksort() instead of asort().

Despite the number of existing answers, I've made yet another solution to this problem. The pro's of my implementation are:

  • The list of timezones is generated dynamically, and thus automatically updates when timezones might change (in PHP).
  • Timezone names are prettified. For example, "America/St_Barthelemy" becomes "America, St. Barthelemy".
  • Timezones are sorted on offset and name. Toland's answer only sorts on offset, resulting in unsorted groups of timezones within the same offset.
  • Offset information is not retrieved from DateTimeZone::listAbbreviations, since that method also returns historical timezone information. Favio's answer does use this method, which results in incorrect (historical) offsets
  • The list of timezones is only generated when first requested (and 'cached' using a static variable).

Here is the full code:

function timezone_list() {
    static $timezones = null;

    if ($timezones === null) {
        $timezones = [];
        $offsets = [];
        $now = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('UTC'));

        foreach (DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers() as $timezone) {
            $now->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone($timezone));
            $offsets[] = $offset = $now->getOffset();
            $timezones[$timezone] = '(' . format_GMT_offset($offset) . ') ' . format_timezone_name($timezone);
        }

        array_multisort($offsets, $timezones);
    }

    return $timezones;
}

function format_GMT_offset($offset) {
    $hours = intval($offset / 3600);
    $minutes = abs(intval($offset % 3600 / 60));
    return 'GMT' . ($offset ? sprintf('%+03d:%02d', $hours, $minutes) : '');
}

function format_timezone_name($name) {
    $name = str_replace('/', ', ', $name);
    $name = str_replace('_', ' ', $name);
    $name = str_replace('St ', 'St. ', $name);
    return $name;
}

And here's an example of the output

Array
(
    [Pacific/Midway]    => (GMT-11:00) Pacific, Midway
    [Pacific/Niue]      => (GMT-11:00) Pacific, Niue
    [Pacific/Pago_Pago] => (GMT-11:00) Pacific, Pago Pago
    [America/Adak]      => (GMT-10:00) America, Adak
    [Pacific/Honolulu]  => (GMT-10:00) Pacific, Honolulu
    [Pacific/Johnston]  => (GMT-10:00) Pacific, Johnston
    [Pacific/Rarotonga] => (GMT-10:00) Pacific, Rarotonga
    [Pacific/Tahiti]    => (GMT-10:00) Pacific, Tahiti
    [Pacific/Marquesas] => (GMT-09:30) Pacific, Marquesas
    [America/Anchorage] => (GMT-09:00) America, Anchorage
    ...
)

I would do it with the following code which is similar to the accepted answer (I'm aware the code could be refactored :) ):

    $list = DateTimeZone::listAbbreviations();
    $idents = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers();

    $data = $offset = $added = array();
    foreach ($list as $abbr => $info) {
        foreach ($info as $zone) {
            if ( ! empty($zone['timezone_id'])
                AND
                ! in_array($zone['timezone_id'], $added)
                AND 
                  in_array($zone['timezone_id'], $idents)) {
                $z = new DateTimeZone($zone['timezone_id']);
                $c = new DateTime(null, $z);
                $zone['time'] = $c->format('H:i a');
                $offset[] = $zone['offset'] = $z->getOffset($c);
                $data[] = $zone;
                $added[] = $zone['timezone_id'];
            }
        }
    }

    array_multisort($offset, SORT_ASC, $data);
    $options = array();
    foreach ($data as $key => $row) {
        $options[$row['timezone_id']] = $row['time'] . ' - '
                                        . formatOffset($row['offset']) 
                                        . ' ' . $row['timezone_id'];
    }

    // now you can use $options;

function formatOffset($offset) {
        $hours = $offset / 3600;
        $remainder = $offset % 3600;
        $sign = $hours > 0 ? '+' : '-';
        $hour = (int) abs($hours);
        $minutes = (int) abs($remainder / 60);

        if ($hour == 0 AND $minutes == 0) {
            $sign = ' ';
        }
        return 'GMT' . $sign . str_pad($hour, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) 
                .':'. str_pad($minutes,2, '0');

}

It produces something like:

<option value="America/Boise" label="02:10 am - GMT-06:00 America/Boise">02:10 am - GMT-06:00 America/Boise</option>

<option value="America/Denver" label="02:10 am - GMT-06:00 America/Denver">02:10 am - GMT-06:00 America/Denver</option>
<option value="America/Edmonton" label="02:10 am - GMT-06:00 America/Edmonton">02:10 am - GMT-06:00 America/Edmonton</option>
<option value="America/Inuvik" label="02:10 am - GMT-06:00 America/Inuvik">02:10 am - GMT-06:00 America/Inuvik</option>
<option value="America/Shiprock" label="02:10 am - GMT-06:00 America/Shiprock">02:10 am - GMT-06:00 America/Shiprock</option>

<option value="America/Belize" label="02:10 am - GMT-05:00 America/Belize">02:10 am - GMT-05:00 America/Belize</option>

Hope that helps a bit and/or inspire you to come with something better.

You can create very easy a dropdown from this array (It was a time-consuming task to put this together and test it). We already use this list in some of our apps.

It is very important to store timezone identifiers in your database and not just the timezone offset like "GMT+2", because of Daylight Saving Times.

Editing Tamas' answer to remove all the "other" entries that the php.net site says should no longer be used.

Maybe doesn't matter, but just following best practices. See notice at bottom of: http://fr2.php.net/manual/en/timezones.others.php

Also, though this list has the Azores as GMT -1, in fact I think it's the same (at least sometimes) as GMT, but not sure.

Editing to offer this in sql so you can create the drop down list in a form and have the user's answer be tied to an index instead.

Editing again to remove leading space

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `timezones` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(44) DEFAULT NULL,

Here's one that creates a multidimensional array sorted by offset and niceified name:

function timezones() {
    $timezones = [];

    foreach (timezone_identifiers_list() as $timezone) {
        $datetime = new \DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone($timezone));
        $timezones[] = [
            'sort' => str_replace(':', '', $datetime->format('P')),
            'offset' => $datetime->format('P'),
            'name' => str_replace('_', ' ', implode(', ', explode('/', $timezone))),
            'timezone' => $timezone,
        ];
    }

    usort($timezones, function($a, $b) {
        return $a['sort'] - $b['sort'] ?: strcmp($a['name'], $b['name']);
    });

    return $timezones;
}

foreach (timezones() as $timezone) {
    echo '(UTC '.$timezone['offset'].') '.$timezone['name'].'<br>';
}

Echos:

(UTC -11:00) Pacific, Midway
(UTC -11:00) Pacific, Niue
(UTC -11:00) Pacific, Pago Pago
(UTC -10:00) Pacific, Honolulu
(UTC -10:00) Pacific, Johnston

Using listAbbreviations() makes no sense as for every area it returns all the different offsets that were historically used there, not just current ones. The right base source of the list is definitely listIdentifiers().

I would generate the list just once and save it to avoid generating it for every request. I could refresh it once a month.

Also, I could put all the timezones info into a separate js-script and generate the select list itself on the client side. The js-script could be cached as well, timezones don't change often.

Also, using javascript on the client side, you can know the current local time, and hence you can find the zones that have the same time now (minutes may differ, so comparison should be approximate), and display them on the top of the list, so the user does not have to scroll through all the 400 items. You can also display adjacent zones (+/-1 hour) following.

I know this has an answer already but I saw an opportunity to improve upon one of the answers here. Toland H posted some very good code that does exactly what the question was asking for. Below is a shortened and expand version of Toland H's code:

  • The function places everything in option tags for you. Just echo out whats return between your select tags.
  • Major Improvement: The list is sorted first by continent and organized in option groups based on continents. Makes it very user friendly for visitors picking their timezone.

function generate_timezone_list() {
static $allRegions = array(
DateTimeZone::AFRICA,
DateTimeZone::AMERICA,
DateTimeZone::ANTARCTICA,
DateTimeZone::ASIA,
DateTimeZone::ATLANTIC,
DateTimeZone::AUSTRALIA,
DateTimeZone::EUROPE,
DateTimeZone::INDIAN,
DateTimeZone::PACIFIC
);
// Makes it easier to create option groups next
$list = array ('AFRICA','AMERICA','ANTARCTICA','ASIA','ATLANTIC','AUSTRALIA','EUROPE','INDIAN','PACIFIC');
// Make array holding the regions (continents), they are arrays w/ all their cities
$region = array();
foreach ($allRegions as $area){
array_push ($region,DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers( $area ));
}   
$count = count ($region); $i = 0; $holder = '';
// Go through each region one by one, sorting and formatting it's cities
while ($i < $count){
$chunck = $region[$i];
// Create the region (continents) option group
$holder .= '<optgroup label="---------- '.$list[$i].' ----------">';
$timezone_offsets = array();
foreach( $chunck as $timezone ){
$tz = new DateTimeZone($timezone);
$timezone_offsets[$timezone] = $tz->getOffset(new DateTime);
}
asort ($timezone_offsets);
$timezone_list = array();
foreach ($timezone_offsets as $timezone => $offset){
$offset_prefix = $offset < 0 ? '-' : '+';
$offset_formatted = gmdate( 'H:i', abs($offset) );
$pretty_offset = "UTC ${offset_prefix}${offset_formatted}";
$timezone_list[$timezone] = "(${pretty_offset}) $timezone";     
}
// All the formatting is done, finish and move on to next region
foreach ($timezone_list as $key => $val){
$holder .= '<option value="'.$key.'">'.$val.'</option>';
}
$holder .= '</optgroup>';
++$i;
}
return $holder;
}
echo "<select>".generate_timezone_list()."</select>";

Then all you need to do is echo out what is returned between your html select tags. You'll get a select list something like this:

----- AFRICA -----
(UTC +00:00) Africa/ city name
(UTC +01:00) Africa/ city name
(UTC +02:00) Africa/ city name
(UTC +02:00) Africa/ city name
----- AMERICA -----
(UTC -09:00) America/ city name
(UTC -07:00) America/ city name
(UTC +02:00) America/ city name
(UTC +05:00) America/ city name

And so on...

This PHP function do the Job for you an give back an array:

function time_zonelist(){
    $return = array();
    $timezone_identifiers_list = timezone_identifiers_list();
    foreach($timezone_identifiers_list as $timezone_identifier){
        $date_time_zone = new DateTimeZone($timezone_identifier);
        $date_time = new DateTime('now', $date_time_zone);
        $hours = floor($date_time_zone->getOffset($date_time) / 3600);
        $mins = floor(($date_time_zone->getOffset($date_time) - ($hours*3600)) / 60);
        $hours = 'GMT' . ($hours < 0 ? $hours : '+'.$hours);
        $mins = ($mins > 0 ? $mins : '0'.$mins);
        $text = str_replace("_"," ",$timezone_identifier);
        $return[$timezone_identifier] = $text.' ('.$hours.':'.$mins.')';
    }
    return $return;
}

This PHP function give back an array of all existing Timezones including Offset:

Use it e.g. like this:

print_r(time_zonelist());

function prettyOffset($offset) {

    $offset_formatted = gmdate( 'H:i', abs($offset) );

    $pretty_offset = "UTC${offset_prefix}${offset_formatted}";

}

foreach ($timezones as $k => $v) {
    $tz = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(DateTimeZone::PER_COUNTRY, $k);

    foreach ($tz as $value) {

Which means now I can do something like below (of course with some javaScript trickery):

In some projects it really doesn't make sense to have the detailed timezones of Africa, Europe or Pacific. So here is a short version

$timezoneTable = array(
    "-12" => "(GMT -12:00) Eniwetok, Kwajalein",
    "-11" => "(GMT -11:00) Midway Island, Samoa",
    "-10" => "(GMT -10:00) Hawaii",
    "-9" => "(GMT -9:00) Alaska",
    "-8" => "(GMT -8:00) Pacific Time (US &amp; Canada)",
    "-7" => "(GMT -7:00) Mountain Time (US &amp; Canada)",
    "-6" => "(GMT -6:00) Central Time (US &amp; Canada), Mexico City",
    "-5" => "(GMT -5:00) Eastern Time (US &amp; Canada), Bogota, Lima",
    "-4" => "(GMT -4:00) Atlantic Time (Canada), Caracas, La Paz",
    "-3.5" => "(GMT -3:30) Newfoundland",
    "-3" => "(GMT -3:00) Brazil, Buenos Aires, Georgetown",
    "-2" => "(GMT -2:00) Mid-Atlantic",
    "-1" => "(GMT -1:00) Azores, Cape Verde Islands",
    "0" => "(GMT) Western Europe Time, London, Lisbon, Casablanca",
    "1" => "(GMT +1:00) Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris",
    "2" => "(GMT +2:00) Kaliningrad, South Africa",
    "3" => "(GMT +3:00) Baghdad, Riyadh, Moscow, St. Petersburg",
    "3.5" => "(GMT +3:30) Tehran",
    "4" => "(GMT +4:00) Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Baku, Tbilisi",
    "4.5" => "(GMT +4:30) Kabul",
    "5" => "(GMT +5:00) Ekaterinburg, Islamabad, Karachi, Tashkent",
    "5.5" => "(GMT +5:30) Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, New Delhi",
    "6" => "(GMT +6:00) Almaty, Dhaka, Colombo",
    "7" => "(GMT +7:00) Bangkok, Hanoi, Jakarta",
    "8" => "(GMT +8:00) Beijing, Perth, Singapore, Hong Kong",
    "9" => "(GMT +9:00) Tokyo, Seoul, Osaka, Sapporo, Yakutsk",
    "9.5" => "(GMT +9:30) Adelaide, Darwin",
    "10" => "(GMT +10:00) Eastern Australia, Guam, Vladivostok",
    "11" => "(GMT +11:00) Magadan, Solomon Islands, New Caledonia",

echo "<select>";
foreach ($timezoneTable as $k => $v){
    $sel = ($k==-5)?" selected":"";
    echo "<option value='".$k."'".$sel.">".$v."</option>";

echo "</select>" 

this will generate a select as below:

public static function tzList()
{
    $tzMap = array();
    $zones = \DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers();
    foreach ($zones as $zone) {
        $tz = new \DateTimeZone($zone);
        $now = new \DateTime("utc", $tz);
        $diffInSeconds = $tz->getOffset($now);
        $hours = floor($diffInSeconds / 3600);
        $minutes = floor(($diffInSeconds % 3600) / 60);
        $tzMap[$zone] = sprintf("%+d", $hours) . ":" . sprintf("%02d", $minutes);
    }
    return $tzMap;
}

Tada! It's this simple. Gives you an array with the key as the PHP timezone and the value as a string in the format +-Hours:Minutes




回答15:


I created a PHP class for this with a corresponding jQuery plugin. I've open-sourced it at https://github.com/peterjtracey/timezoneWidget - the PHP code is inspired by another stackoverflow answer, but I think much more elegant. The jQuery plugin gives a great interface for selecting a timezone.

回答17:


the first option would allow you to take the value from $_POST['whateveryoucalltheselect'] and add it to UTC. or even store that value and then always call UTC + userTZsetting whenever you need it later. seems easiest to me. the last option would be much more valuable if timezones changed frequently.




回答18:


None of them. Instead prepare an array in PHP with those timezones. Like

$arr[0] = "(GMT+02:00) Harare, Pretoria";
$arr[1] = "(GMT+03:00) Jerusalem";

or

$arr[0] = array("America/Campo_Grande", "(GMT+02:00) Harare, Pretoria");
$arr[1] = array("America/Israel", "(GMT+03:00) Jerusalem");

and so on. Then generate form based on this array:

foreach ($arr as $k => $v)
   $str .= "<option value=$k>$v[1]</option>";

And then you may easily switch with different formats with just code modification in above line. Also validation will be much easier and don't require regular expressions. Just compare value sent by POST or GET with an array. Now it's easy to set $arr[$value_sent_by_form][0] holds PHP compatible value while $arr[$value_sent_by_form][1] user friendly value.

After trying all solutions presented here and not being satisfied, I have found a script which is matching my needs and it is more user friendly. For the record, I will save it as a possible solution. I love the copy/paste solutions :)

Script returns a select with whatever timezone you want preselected.

Source: https://e-tel.eu/2011/07/13/create-a-time-zone-drop-down-list-ddl-in-php/

    $countryCodes = getCountryCodes();
    $return = null;
    foreach ($countryCodes as $country => $countryCode) {
        $timezone_identifiers = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(DateTimeZone::PER_COUNTRY,$countryCode);
        foreach( $timezone_identifiers as $value ){
            /* getTimeZoneOffset returns minutes and we need to display hours */
            $offset = getTimeZoneOffset($value)/60;
            /* for the GMT+1 GMT-1 display */
            $offset = ( substr($offset,0,1) == "-" ? " (GMT" : " (GMT+" ) . $offset . ")";
            /* America/New_York -> America/New York */
            $displayValue = (str_replace('_',' ',$value));
            /* Find the city */
            $ex = explode("/",$displayValue);
            $city = ( ($ex[2]) ? $ex[2] : $ex[1] );
            /* For the special names */
            $displayValue = htmlentities($country." - ".$city.$offset); 
            /* handle the $selectedTimeZone in the select form */

Here's a class I put together, mixing what I thought was the best of all suggestions here, and with Carbon as a dependency:

namespace App\Support;

use Carbon\Carbon;
use DateTimeZone;

class Timezone
{
    protected static $timezones;

    public static function all(): array
    {
        if (static::$timezones) {
            return static::$timezones;
        }

        $offsets   = [];
        $timezones = [];

        foreach (DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers() as $timezone) {

            $offsets[]            = $offset = Carbon::now()->timezone($timezone)->offset;
            $timezones[$timezone] = static::formatTimezoneDisplay($timezone, $offset);

            array_multisort($offsets, $timezones);

        }

        return static::$timezones = $timezones;
    }

    protected static function formatTimezoneDisplay(string $timezone, string $offset): string
    {
        return static::formatOffset($offset) . ' (' . static::formatTimezone($timezone) . ')';
    }

    protected static function formatOffset(string $offset): string
    {
        if (!$offset) {
            return 'UTC±00:00';
        }

        $hours   = intval($offset / 3600);
        $minutes = abs(intval($offset % 3600 / 60));

        return 'UTC' . sprintf('%+03d:%02d', $hours, $minutes);
    }

    protected static function formatTimezone(string $timezone): string
    {
        return str_replace(['/', '_', 'St '], [', ', ' ', 'St. '], $timezone);
    }
}

You simply Timezone:all(), and that gets you an array in the format of UTC-5:00 (America, New York), so you could easily display a select field on your frontend.




回答22:


For those using CodeIgniter, there's a built-in Date Helper function called timezone_menu. These:

$this->load->helper('date');
echo timezone_menu('GMT', 'form-control', 'dropdown-name', ['id' => 'ci-timezone']);

Produce the following output:

<select name="dropdown-name" class="form-control" id="ci-timezone">

回答23:


I did this:

php -r "echo json_encode(array_combine(DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(DateTimeZone::ALL), DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(DateTimeZone::ALL)));" > list-of-timezones.json




回答24:


I would like to leave here this idea:

/*----------TIME ZONE LIST---------*/
function TZList($data_type = false){
    $_all_timezone_identifiers = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(DateTimeZone::ALL);
    $TIMEZONE_LIST = array();
    foreach($_all_timezone_identifiers as $k => $v){
        $_tzone_group = explode("/", $_all_timezone_identifiers[$k])[0];

        $_tzone_new = new DateTimeZone($_all_timezone_identifiers[$k]);
        $_tzone_new_date = new DateTime("now", $_tzone_new);

        $tzone_arr = array(
                            'timezone' => $_all_timezone_identifiers[$k],
                            'timediff' => $_tzone_new_date->format('P'),
                            'timezone_offset' => $_tzone_new_date->format('Z')/60, //minutes
                            'text' => "(GMT" .$_tzone_new_date->format('P') .") " .$_all_timezone_identifiers[$k]
                            );

        //BY CONTINENT
        if($data_type === true) $TIMEZONE_LIST[$_tzone_group][] = $tzone_arr; else $TIMEZONE_LIST[] = $tzone_arr;
    }

    //BY TIMEZONE: "America/New_York"
    if(is_string($data_type)){
        $key = array_search($data_type, array_column($TIMEZONE_LIST, 'timezone'));
        $TIMEZONE_LIST = $key !== false ? $TIMEZONE_LIST[$key] : null;
    }

    return $TIMEZONE_LIST;
}
