TimeZone Country Places Primer Tutorial
We’ve elaborated on the PHP TimeZone functionalities today to write another web application where “when” meets “where” via TimeZones.
Into the mix of the logic here, we need to venture into the world of two letter ISO Country Codes, and we work this with help from http://php.net/manual/en/datetimezone.getlocation.php and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17842003/php-intl-country-code-2-chars-to-country-name and http://php.net/manual/en/function.timezone-identifiers-list.php and http://www.timezoneconverter.com/ to “hardcode” our HTML select “dropdown” elements we create in the process, and offer TimeZone information HTML select “dropdown” elements as well.
Also in the mix, as is so often the case for us here, when “where” is part of the “equation”, we use that wonderful Google Charts Map Chart functionality, to help us out.
And so we have written our live run of the PHP code tz_places.php for your perusal.
