Создание выпадающего списка часовых поясов с помощью PHP

Большинству сайтов нужен способ отображать даты на сайте в часовом поясе, предпочитаемом пользователями. Ниже приведены два списка, которые я нашел, а затем один метод, использующий встроенный класс PHP DateTime в PHP 5.

Мне нужна помощь, чтобы узнать, какой из них лучше всего попытаться использовать при попытке получить смещение UTC от зарегистрированного пользователя.

Один:

<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>

Или просто используя сам PHP:

$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 );

Похоже, что последний вариант будет самым безопасным, так как он будет расти с использованием версии PHP. Вы также можете перевернуть этот массив, когда необходимо привязать часовые пояса к названиям городов.

Я бы сделал это на PHP, но я бы не стал делать preg_match 100 несколько раз и сделал бы это для создания вашего списка.

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

Кроме того, я бы использовал имена PHP для «часовых поясов» и забыл о смещениях по Гринвичу, которые будут меняться в зависимости от летнего времени. Такой код в phpbb - это только такой способ, b / c они все еще поддерживают PHP4 и не могут полагаться на присутствующие там объекты DateTime или DateTimeZone.

Следуя приведенному выше примеру пользователя210179, я написал следующую функцию для создания списка всех часовых поясов с их смещениями:

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;
}

Это сгенерирует массив вида:

[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
…

В настоящее время он отсортирован по смещению, но вы можете легко отсортировать его по имени часового пояса, выполнив ksort()вместо asort().

Несмотря на количество существующих ответов, я нашел еще одно решение этой проблемы. Плюсы моей реализации:

• Список часовых поясов создается динамически и, таким образом, автоматически обновляется при изменении часовых поясов (в PHP).
• Названия часовых поясов указаны заранее. Например, «Америка / Сент-Бартелеми» становится «Америка, Сент-Бартелеми».
• Часовые пояса отсортированы по смещению и названию. Ответ Толанда сортирует только по смещению, что приводит к несортированным группам часовых поясов в пределах одного смещения.
• Информация о смещении не извлекается DateTimeZone::listAbbreviations, поскольку этот метод также возвращает историческую информацию о часовом поясе . Ответ Favio действительно использует этот метод, что приводит к неправильным (историческим) смещениям
• Список часовых поясов создается только при первом запросе (и «кэшируется» с использованием статической переменной).

Вот полный код:

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;
}

А вот пример вывода

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
    ...
)

Я бы сделал это с помощью следующего кода, который похож на принятый ответ (я знаю, что код можно отредактировать :)):

    $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');

}

Это производит что-то вроде:

<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>

Надеюсь, что это немного поможет и / или вдохновит вас на что-то лучшее.

Вы можете очень легко создать раскрывающийся список из этого массива (собрать его и протестировать было трудоемкой задачей). Мы уже используем этот список в некоторых наших приложениях.

Это очень важно для идентификаторов магазина часовых поясов в базе данных , а не только смещение часового пояса , как «GMT + 2», из - за Летнюю Times.

Редактирование ответа Тамаса для удаления всех «других» записей, которые, по словам сайта php.net, больше не должны использоваться.

Может быть, это не имеет значения, но просто следуйте лучшим практикам. См. Уведомление внизу: http://fr2.php.net/manual/en/timezones.others.php

Кроме того, хотя в этом списке Азорские острова указаны как GMT -1, на самом деле я думаю, что это то же самое (по крайней мере, иногда), что и GMT, но не уверен.

Редактирование, чтобы предложить это в sql, чтобы вы могли создать раскрывающийся список в форме и вместо этого привязать ответ пользователя к индексу.

Снова редактируем, чтобы удалить начальный пробел

Вот тот, который создает многомерный массив, отсортированный по смещению и красивому имени:

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>';
}

    'Pacific/Chatham' => '(GMT+12:45) Chatham Islands',
    'Pacific/Tongatapu' => '(GMT+13:00) Nukualofa',
    'Pacific/Kiritimati' => '(GMT+14:00) Kiritimati',

date_default_timezone_set($timezone);

Использование listAbbreviations () не имеет смысла, поскольку для каждой области он возвращает все различные смещения, которые использовались там исторически, а не только текущие. Правильный базовый источник списка определенно listIdentifiers ().

Я бы сгенерировал список только один раз и сохранил его, чтобы не создавать его для каждого запроса. Я мог обновлять его раз в месяц.

Кроме того, я мог бы поместить всю информацию о часовых поясах в отдельный js-скрипт и создать сам список выбора на стороне клиента. Js-скрипт тоже можно кешировать, часовые пояса меняются нечасто.

Кроме того, используя javascript на стороне клиента, вы можете узнать текущее местное время и, следовательно, вы можете найти зоны с одинаковым временем (минуты могут отличаться, поэтому сравнение должно быть приблизительным) и отобразить их в верхней части list, поэтому пользователю не нужно прокручивать все 400 элементов. Вы также можете отобразить соседние зоны (+/- 1 час) после.

Я знаю, что на это уже есть ответ, но я увидел возможность улучшить один из ответов здесь. Толанд Х опубликовал очень хороший код, который делает именно то, о чем спрашивал вопрос. Ниже представлена ​​сокращенная и расширенная версия кода Toland H:

• Функция помещает все в теги опций за вас. Просто укажите, что возвращается между выбранными вами тегами.
• Основное улучшение: список сначала отсортирован по континентам и организован в группы вариантов на основе континентов. Делает его очень удобным для посетителей, выбирающих свой часовой пояс.

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>";

Затем все, что вам нужно сделать, это повторить то, что возвращается между вашими тегами выбора html. Вы получите список выбора примерно так:

----- 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

И так далее...

Эта функция PHP выполняет задание за вас и возвращает массив:

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;
}

Эта функция PHP возвращает массив всех существующих часовых поясов, включая смещение:

Используйте это, например, так:

print_r(time_zonelist());

// taken from Toland Hon's Answer
function prettyOffset($offset) {
    $offset_prefix = $offset < 0 ? '-' : '+';
    $offset_formatted = gmdate( 'H:i', abs($offset) );

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

    return $pretty_offset;
}

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

    foreach ($tz as $value) {
        $t = new DateTimeZone($value);
        $offset = (new DateTime("now", $t))->getOffset();
        $timezones[$k]['timezones'][$value] = prettyOffset($offset);
    }   
}

Это дает мне массив, сгруппированный по странам:

["US"]=>
  array(2) {
    ["name"]=>
    string(13) "United States"
    ["timezones"]=>
    array(29) {
      ["America/Adak"]=>
      string(9) "UTC-10:00"

Это означает, что теперь я могу сделать что-то вроде ниже (конечно, с некоторыми уловками javaScript):

В некоторых проектах действительно не имеет смысла указывать подробные часовые пояса Африки, Европы или Тихого океана. Итак, вот краткая версия

$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 & Canada)",
    "-7" => "(GMT -7:00) Mountain Time (US & Canada)",
    "-6" => "(GMT -6:00) Central Time (US & Canada), Mexico City",
    "-5" => "(GMT -5:00) Eastern Time (US & 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",
    "12" => "(GMT +12:00) Auckland, Wellington, Fiji, Kamchatka"
);

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

это сгенерирует выбор, как показано ниже:

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;
}

Тада! Все очень просто. Предоставляет вам массив с ключом в качестве часового пояса PHP и значением в виде строки в формате + -Hours: Minutes

Я создал для этого класс PHP с соответствующим плагином jQuery. Я открыл его на https://github.com/peterjtracey/timezoneWidget - код PHP вдохновлен другим ответом stackoverflow, но я думаю, что он намного элегантнее. Плагин jQuery предоставляет отличный интерфейс для выбора часового пояса.

Код:

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

$result = [];
foreach ($tzlist as $timezone) {
    $offset = (new DateTimeZone($timezone))->getOffset(new DateTime);
    $offsetPrefix = $offset < 0 ? '-' : '+';

    $utcOffset = "(UTC$offsetPrefix$offsetFormatted)";

    $result[$timezone] = "${$utcOffset} $timezone";
}
asort($result);
print_r($result);

Вариант 2

Результат:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [value] => Africa/Abidjan
            [offset] => +00:00
            [text] => (UTC+00:00) Africa/Abidjan
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [value] => Africa/Conakry
            [offset] => +00:00
            [text] => (UTC+00:00) Africa/Conakry
        )
...

Код:

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

$result = [];
foreach ($tzlist as $timezone) {
    $offset = (new DateTimeZone($timezone))->getOffset(new DateTime);
    $offsetPrefix = $offset < 0 ? '-' : '+';
    $offsetFormatted = gmdate('H:i', abs($offset));
    $utcOffset = "UTC$offsetPrefix$offsetFormatted";

    $result[] = [
        'value' => $timezone,
        'offset' => "$offsetPrefix$offsetFormatted"
        // "text" => "($utcOffset) $timezone"
    ];
}
usort($result, function ($a, $b) { return strcmp($a["offset"], $b["offset"]); });
print_r($result);

первый вариант позволит вам взять значение из $ _POST ['whateveryoucalltheselect'] и добавить его в UTC. или даже сохраните это значение, а затем всегда вызывайте UTC + userTZsetting, когда вам это понадобится позже. мне кажется самым простым. последний вариант был бы гораздо более ценным, если бы часовые пояса менялись часто.

Никто из них. Вместо этого подготовьте массив в PHP с этими часовыми поясами. подобно

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

или

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

и так далее. Затем сгенерируйте форму на основе этого массива:

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

И тогда вы можете легко переключаться на разные форматы, просто изменив код в строке выше. Также проверка будет намного проще и не потребует регулярных выражений. Просто сравните значение, отправленное POST или GET, с массивом. Теперь легко установить, что $ arr [$ value_sent_by_form] [0] содержит PHP-совместимое значение, а $ arr [$ value_sent_by_form] [1] удобное для пользователя значение.

См. Также этот пример

<?php
     function get_timezones() 
     {
        $o = array();
        $t_zones = timezone_identifiers_list();
        foreach($t_zones as $a)
        {
            $t = '';

            try
            {
                //this throws exception for 'US/Pacific-New'
                $zone = new DateTimeZone($a);

                $seconds = $zone->getOffset( new DateTime("now" , $zone) );
                $hours = sprintf( "%+02d" , intval($seconds/3600));
                $minutes = sprintf( "%02d" , ($seconds%3600)/60 );

                $t = $a ."  [ $hours:$minutes ]" ;

                $o[$a] = $t;
            }

            //exceptions must be catched, else a blank page
            catch(Exception $e)
            {
                //die("Exception : " . $e->getMessage() . '<br />');
                //what to do in catch ? , nothing just relax
            }
        }

        ksort($o);

        return $o;
    } 

    $o = get_timezones();
    ?>

    <html>
    <body>
    <select name="time_zone">
    <?php
        foreach($o as $tz => $label)
        {
            echo "<option value="$tz">$label</option>";
        }

Перепробовав все представленные здесь решения и не получив удовлетворения, я нашел сценарий, который соответствует моим потребностям и более удобен для пользователя. Для протокола сохраню как возможное решение. Мне нравятся решения для копирования / вставки :)

Скрипт возвращает выбор с любым часовым поясом, который вы хотите предварительно выбрать.

Вот класс, который я собрал, смешав здесь то, что я считал лучшим из всех предложений, и с углеродом в качестве зависимости:

namespace App\Support;

use Carbon\Carbon;
use DateTimeZone;

class Timezone
{
    protected static $timezones;

    public static function all(): array
    {
        if (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));

Вы просто Timezone:all(), и это дает вам массив в формате UTC-5:00 (America, New York), чтобы вы могли легко отобразить поле выбора в своем интерфейсе.

Для тех, кто использует CodeIgniter, есть встроенная функция Date Helper, называемая timezone_menu . Эти:

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

Произведите следующий вывод:

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

Я сделал это:

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

Я бы хотел оставить здесь эту идею:

/*----------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;
