Создание выпадающего списка часовых поясов в PHP

следуя примеру user210179 выше, я написал следующую функцию, чтобы сгенерировать мне список 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 создаст массив, похожий на:

[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 сортируется по смещениям, но вы можете легко сортировать по имени часового пояса, выполнив ksort() вместо asort().

несмотря на количество существующих ответов, я сделал еще одно решение этой проблемы. Профессионалами моей реализации являются:

• список часовых поясов генерируется динамически и, таким образом, автоматически обновляется при изменении часовых поясов (в PHP).
• имена часовых поясов приукрашены. Например, "America / St_Barthelemy "становится" America, St. Barthelemy".
• часовые пояса сортируются по смещению и имени. ответ Толанда всего рода при смещении, что приводит к несортированным группам часовых поясов в пределах одного смещения.
• информация о смещении не извлекается из DateTimeZone::listAbbreviations, так как этот метод также возвращает историческая информация о часовом поясе. ответ Фавио использует этот метод, что приводит к неправильным (историческим) смещениям
• список часовых поясов генерируется 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;
}

и 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 может быть переработан :) ):

    $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');
                $data[] = $zone;
                $offset[] = $z->getOffset($c);
                $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');

}

Он 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 поможет немного и/или вдохновит вас прийти с чем-то лучше.

вы можете создать очень простой раскрывающийся список из этого массива (это была трудоемкая задача, чтобы собрать это вместе и проверить его). Мы уже используем этот список в некоторых приложениях.

Это очень важно для хранения идентификаторов часового пояса в вашей базе данных, а не только смещение часового пояса, как "GMT+2", из-за летнего времени.

редактирование ответа Tamas для удаления всех" других " записей, которые php.net сайт говорит, что больше не должен использоваться.

возможно, это не имеет значения, но просто следуя лучшим практикам. См. внизу: http://fr2.php.net/manual/en/timezones.others.php

кроме того, хотя этот список имеет Азорские острова 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 падение вниз по списку в форме и привязать ответ пользователя к индексу вместо этого.

вот один, который создает многомерный массив, отсортированный по смещению и 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>';
}

Эхо:

(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
(UTC -10:00) Pacific, Rarotonga
(UTC -10:00) Pacific, Tahiti
(UTC -09:30) Pacific, Marquesas
(UTC -09:00) America, Adak
(UTC -09:00) Pacific, Gambier
(UTC -08:00) America, Anchorage
(UTC -08:00) America, Juneau
...

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

Я бы сгенерировал список только один раз и сохранил его, чтобы избежать его генерации 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 сторона клиента. JS-скрипт также может быть кэширован, часовые пояса не часто меняются.

кроме того, используя javascript на стороне клиента, вы можете знать текущее местное время, и, следовательно, вы можете найти зоны, которые имеют то же время сейчас (минуты могут отличаться, поэтому сравнение должно быть приблизительным), и отображать их в верхней части списка, поэтому пользователю не нужно прокручивать все 400 элементов. Вы также можете отображать соседние зоны (+/-1 час).

Я знаю, что у этого уже есть ответ, но я видел возможность улучшить один из ответов здесь. Толанд H опубликовал очень хороший код, который делает именно то, о чем спрашивал вопрос. Ниже приведена сокращенная и расширенная версия кода Toland H:

• функция помещает все в теги опций для вас. Просто отзовитесь, что возвращается между вашими тегами select.
• Значительное Улучшение: список отсортирован сначала по континенту и организован в опционные группы на основе континентов. Делает его очень удобным для посетителей, выбирая 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>";

тогда все, что вам нужно сделать, это эхо из того, что возвращается между тегами выбора html. Вы получите список выбора что-то вроде этого:

----- 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 делает работу 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 Offset:

используйте его, например, так:

print_r(time_zonelist());

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:

  }

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

в некоторых проектах действительно не имеет смысла иметь 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 создаст 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. Дает массив с ключом в качестве часового пояса PHP и значением в виде строки в формате + - Hours: Minutes

Я создал класс PHP для этого с соответствующим плагином jQuery. Я открыл его в https://github.com/peterjtracey/timezoneWidget - PHP-код вдохновлен другим ответом stackoverflow, но я думаю, что гораздо более элегантно. Плагин jQuery дает отличный интерфейс для выбора часового пояса.

        (
            [value] => Africa/Abidjan

            [text] => (UTC+00:00) Africa/Conakry
        )

    $offset = (new DateTimeZone($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 нужно позже. мне кажется, это проще всего. последний вариант был бы гораздо более ценным, если бы часовые пояса часто менялись.

ни один из них. Вместо этого подготовьте массив в PHP с этими часовыми поясами. Как

$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 создайте форму на основе этого массива:

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

и затем вы можете легко переключаться с различными форматами только с модификацией кода в приведенной выше строке. Также проверка будет намного проще и не требует регулярных выражений. Просто сравните значение, отправленное по почте или GET с массивом. Теперь легко установить $arr [$value_sent_by_form][0] РНР держит совместимые значения, пока массив $arr[$value_sent_by_form][1] понятное пользователей.

                //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;

попробовав все представленные здесь решения и не будучи удовлетворенным, я нашел скрипт, который соответствует моим потребностям, и он более удобен для пользователя. Для протокола, я сохраню это как возможное решение. Мне нравятся решения для копирования / вставки:)

Script возвращает select с любым часовым поясом, который вы хотите предварительно выбрать.

вот класс, который я собрал, смешивая то, что я считал лучшим из всех предложений здесь, 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::$timezones) {
            return static::$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);
    }
}

вы просто Timezone:all(), и это дает вам массив в формате UTC-5:00 (America, New York), поэтому вы можете легко отобразить поле выбора на вашем интерфейсе.

для тех, кто использует CodeIgniter, есть встроенный вспомогательная функция даты под названием timezone_menu. Эти:

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

произвести следующий вывод:
