Time Zone names

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'd like to generate a list of time zones (EST, CDT, whatever) for a popup.

Seems like it should be easy...

This is so the Sales guy can just plug in the time and zone of who he's
gotta call back, and I stuff that in the database, and he gets a morning
report of who to call.

<?php
  for ($offset = 0; $offset <= 23; $offset++){
    $z = ???;
    echo "<option>$z</option>\n";
  }
?>

What can I use for ??? to get the time zone name for offsets?

The date() function tells me what time zone the webserver is in, which is
not even *HIS* time zone, much less the client's.

The idate() function is not available.

I can't just shove $offset into putenv("TZ=$offset") -- Apparently, in
order to set TZ I would need to know, a priori, the name of the time zone,
so that's not real helpful for what I need.

I looked at all the User Contributed notes, and none seemed to answer it.

I suppose I could Google for "PHP time zone" but...

What am I missing?
