I am building a website with a forum that I am building myself. I just don't know how to let the user change their time zone. My server time zone is my time zone (date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');). Please could I have some help with this.
Thanks in advance,
Cameron
$sel = ...(a recognized timezone)...;
date_default_timezone_set($sel);Here's an array of timezones I picked up. You can loop through the array to create a dropdown:
$data_tz = array("Africa/Abidjan","Africa/Accra","Africa/Addis_Ababa","Africa/Algiers","Africa/Asmara","Africa/Asmera","Africa/Bamako","Africa/Bangui","Africa/Banjul","Africa/Bissau","Africa/Blantyre","Africa/Brazzaville","Africa/Bujumbura","Africa/Cairo","Africa/Casablanca","Africa/Ceuta","Africa/Conakry","Africa/Dakar","Africa/Dar_es_Salaam","Africa/Djibouti","Africa/Douala","Africa/El_Aaiun","Africa/Freetown","Africa/Gaborone","Africa/Harare","Africa/Johannesburg","Africa/Kampala","Africa/Khartoum","Africa/Kigali","Africa/Kinshasa","Africa/Lagos","Africa/Libreville","Africa/Lome","Africa/Luanda","Africa/Lubumbashi","Africa/Lusaka","Africa/Malabo","Africa/Maputo","Africa/Maseru","Africa/Mbabane","Africa/Mogadishu","Africa/Monrovia","Africa/Nairobi","Africa/Ndjamena","Africa/Niamey","Africa/Nouakchott","Africa/Ouagadougou","Africa/Porto-Novo","Africa/Sao_Tome","Africa/Timbuktu","Africa/Tripoli","Africa/Tunis","Africa/Windhoek","America/Adak","America/Anchorage","America/Anguilla","America/Antigua","America/Araguaina","America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires","America/Argentina/Catamarca","America/Argentina/ComodRivadavia","America/Argentina/Cordoba","America/Argentina/Jujuy","America/Argentina/La_Rioja","America/Argentina/Mendoza","America/Argentina/Rio_Gallegos","America/Argentina/Salta","America/Argentina/San_Juan","America/Argentina/San_Luis","America/Argentina/Tucuman","America/Argentina/Ushuaia","America/Aruba","America/Asuncion","America/Atikokan","America/Atka","America/Bahia","America/Barbados","America/Belem","America/Belize","America/Blanc-Sablon","America/Boa_Vista","America/Bogota","America/Boise","America/Buenos_Aires","America/Cambridge_Bay","America/Campo_Grande","America/Cancun","America/Caracas","America/Catamarca","America/Cayenne","America/Cayman","America/Chicago","America/Chihuahua","America/Coral_Harbour","America/Cordoba","America/Costa_Rica","America/Cuiaba","America/Curacao","America/Danmarkshavn","America/Dawson","America/Dawson_Creek","America/Denver","America/Detroit","America/Dominica","America/Edmonton","America/Eirunepe","America/El_Salvador","America/Ensenada","America/Fort_Wayne","America/Fortaleza","America/Glace_Bay","America/Godthab","America/Goose_Bay","America/Grand_Turk","America/Grenada","America/Guadeloupe","America/Guatemala","America/Guayaquil","America/Guyana","America/Halifax","America/Havana","America/Hermosillo","America/Indiana/Indianapolis","America/Indiana/Knox","America/Indiana/Marengo","America/Indiana/Petersburg","America/Indiana/Tell_City","America/Indiana/Vevay","America/Indiana/Vincennes","America/Indiana/Winamac","America/Indianapolis","America/Inuvik","America/Iqaluit","America/Jamaica","America/Jujuy","America/Juneau","America/Kentucky/Louisville","America/Kentucky/Monticello","America/Knox_IN","America/La_Paz","America/Lima","America/Los_Angeles","America/Louisville","America/Maceio","America/Managua","America/Manaus","America/Marigot","America/Martinique","America/Matamoros","America/Mazatlan","America/Mendoza","America/Menominee","America/Merida","America/Mexico_City","America/Miquelon","America/Moncton","America/Monterrey","America/Montevideo","America/Montreal","America/Montserrat","America/Nassau","America/New_York","America/Nipigon","America/Nome","America/Noronha","America/North_Dakota/Center","America/North_Dakota/New_Salem","America/Ojinaga","America/Panama","America/Pangnirtung","America/Paramaribo","America/Phoenix","America/Port-au-Prince","America/Port_of_Spain","America/Porto_Acre","America/Porto_Velho","America/Puerto_Rico","America/Rainy_River","America/Rankin_Inlet","America/Recife","America/Regina","America/Resolute","America/Rio_Branco","America/Rosario","America/Santa_Isabel","America/Santarem","America/Santiago","America/Santo_Domingo","America/Sao_Paulo","America/Scoresbysund","America/Shiprock","America/St_Barthelemy","America/St_Johns","America/St_Kitts","America/St_Lucia","America/St_Thomas","America/St_Vincent","America/Swift_Current","America/Tegucigalpa","America/Thule","America/Thunder_Bay","America/Tijuana","America/Toronto","America/Tortola","America/Vancouver","America/Virgin","America/Whitehorse","America/Winnipeg","America/Yakutat","America/Yellowknife","Antarctica/Casey","Antarctica/Davis","Antarctica/DumontDUrville","Antarctica/Mawson","Antarctica/McMurdo","Antarctica/Palmer","Antarctica/Rothera","Antarctica/South_Pole","Antarctica/Syowa","Antarctica/Vostok","Arctic/Longyearbyen","Asia/Aden","Asia/Almaty","Asia/Amman","Asia/Anadyr","Asia/Aqtau","Asia/Aqtobe","Asia/Ashgabat","Asia/Ashkhabad","Asia/Baghdad","Asia/Bahrain","Asia/Baku","Asia/Bangkok","Asia/Beijing","Asia/Beirut","Asia/Bishkek","Asia/Brunei","Asia/Calcutta","Asia/Choibalsan","Asia/Chongqing","Asia/Chungking","Asia/Colombo","Asia/Dacca","Asia/Damascus","Asia/Dhaka","Asia/Dili","Asia/Dubai","Asia/Dushanbe","Asia/Gaza","Asia/Harbin","Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh","Asia/Hong_Kong","Asia/Hovd","Asia/Irkutsk","Asia/Istanbul","Asia/Jakarta","Asia/Jayapura","Asia/Jerusalem","Asia/Kabul","A
