使用PHP生成时区下拉列表

大多数网站都需要某种方式来显示用户首选时区中网站上的日期。以下是我找到的两个列表，然后是使用 PHP 5中内置的PHP DateTime类的一种方法。

我需要帮助，要知道在尝试从注册用户那里获取UTC偏移量时，最好使用哪种方法。

之一：

<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>

或仅使用PHP本身：

$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 );

随着使用的PHP版本的增加，最后一个似乎是最安全的。您还可以在需要时将时区与城市名称绑定时翻转该数组。

我会用PHP做到这一点，除了我会避免多次执行preg_match 100并这样做来生成您的列表。

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

另外，我将使用PHP的名称作为“时区”，而忽略了GMT偏移量，该偏移量将根据DST进行更改。phpbb中的此类代码仅是b / c方式，它们仍支持PHP4，并且不能依赖那里的DateTime或DateTimeZone对象。

按照上面的user210179的示例，我编写了以下函数来为我生成所有时区及其偏移量的列表：

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;
}

这将生成一个数组，如下所示：

[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
…

目前，它是按偏移量排序的，但是您可以通过执行ksort()而不是来轻松按时区名称排序asort()。

尽管已有许多答案，但我还是针对此问题提出了另一种解决方案。我实施的优点是：

• 时区列表是动态生成的，因此在时区可能更改时会自动更新（在PHP中）。
• 时区名称已美化。例如，“ America / St_Barthelemy”变为“ America，St. Barthelemy”。
• 时区按偏移量和名称排序。Toland的答案仅按偏移量排序，导致同一偏移量内的未排序时区组。
• 不会从中获取偏移信息DateTimeZone::listAbbreviations，因为该方法还会返回历史时区信息。Favio的答案确实使用了这种方法，这会导致不正确的（历史）偏移
• 时区列表仅在首次请求时生成（并使用静态变量“缓存”）。

这是完整的代码：

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;
}

这是输出示例

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
    ...
)

我将使用与接受的答案类似的以下代码来完成此操作（我知道该代码可以重构:)）：

    $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');

}

它产生类似：

<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>

希望能有所帮助和/或激发您提供更好的东西。

您可以从该数组创建非常简单的下拉列表（将其放在一起进行测试是一项耗时的工作）。我们已经在某些应用程序中使用了此列表。

这是非常重要的在你的数据库来存储时区标识符，而不仅仅是区偏移，因为夏令时报像“GMT + 2”。

编辑Tamas的答案以删除php.net网站说不再应该使用的所有“其他”条目。

也许无关紧要，只是遵循最佳实践。请参阅底部的通知：http : //fr2.php.net/manual/en/timezones.others.php

另外，尽管此列表将亚速尔群岛的名称设置为GMT -1，但实际上，我认为它与GMT相同（至少有时如此），但不确定。

编辑以在sql中提供此功能，以便您可以在表单中创建下拉列表，并将用户的答案绑定到索引。

再次编辑以删除前导空间

这是一个创建多维数组的数组，该数组按偏移量和修饰的名称排序：

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>';
}

使用listAbbreviations（）没有意义，因为对于每个区域，它都返回过去在此使用的所有不同偏移量，而不仅仅是当前偏移量。列表的正确基础无疑是listIdentifiers（）。

我将只生成一次列表并保存它，以避免为每个请求生成它。我可以每月刷新一次。

另外，我可以将所有时区信息放入单独的js脚本中，并在客户端本身生成选择列表。js脚本也可以缓存，时区不经常更改。

另外，使用客户端上的javascript，您可以知道当前的本地时间，因此可以找到现在具有相同时间的区域（分钟可能有所不同，因此比较应该是近似的），并将其显示在列表，因此用户不必滚动浏览所有400个项目。您还可以在其后显示相邻区域（+/- 1小时）。

我知道这已经有一个答案，但是我看到了一个改进此处答案之一的机会。Toland H发布了一些非常好的代码，可以完全满足问题的要求。以下是Toland H代码的简化和扩展版本：

• 该功能将所有内容都放在选项标签中。只需回声选择标签之间的返回值即可。
• 重大改进：该列表首先按大洲排序，并按大洲分组在选项组中。使访问者在选择时区时非常方便。

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>";

然后，您所需要做的就是回显html select标签之间返回的内容。您将获得一个类似以下内容的选择列表：

----- 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

等等...

这个PHP函数为您完成作业，并返回一个数组：

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;
}

这个PHP函数会返回所有现有时区（包括偏移量）的数组：

像这样使用它：

print_r(time_zonelist());

我想用Google的方式为用户提供更简单的方法。
