PravinS Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 second link is a reference for to check difference between specific time zone also you need to set some default time zone in your code and according to it your need to calculate the difference Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/281322-time-difference-between-two-countries/#findComment-1446104 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 So what, exactly, are you looking for? There's not likely to be an exact tutorial for what you need. PHP has a list of supported timezones by country and determining the different between them is a simple subtraction between the GMT offset for the two timezones. Take a look at the manual for timezone_offset_get(). Specifically, pay attention to the example given. It has about 90% of everything you need. Just create a list of all the countries and associated timezone labels from the first link PravinS provided then use the example from the manual page I linked to.
