DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers headache

[2levelsabove]

http://php.net/manual/en/datetimezone.listidentifiers.php

 

 

So the documentation states that one can get locales by using the above mentioned function. However what I am trying to do is get country specific data.

 

I am using:

 

$timezone_identifiers = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(4096,"CN");
print_r($timezone_identifiers);

 

 

and I still get the whole list!. All I want is the locales per country, in this case china.

 

What am I doing wrong?

[trq]

$timezone_identifiers = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(DateTimeZone::PER_COUNTRY, "CN");

Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'PER_COUNTRY' in /home/jinimat/public_html/includes/_process/getTimeZone.php on line 5

Sorry, I should've looked up 4096, its the same thing.

 

Doesn't help you though sorry.

Are you simply wanting to just echo the time in china?? if so try this

 

<?PHP
putenv("TZ=Asia/Shanghai");echo "Time in China: ". date("h:i:s")."\n"; 
?>

 

There are more values to set for TZ(timezone) lemme know of a specific country if you can't find it

I actually have a drop down that allows users to select their country. So it could be any 2 letter country code.

 

However the function appears to have a flaw as it keeps returning all the time zones.
