### Examples

Example #1 DateTimeZone::getLocation() example

`<?php
$tz = new DateTimeZone("Asia/Jakarta");
print_r($tz->getLocation());
print_r(timezone_location_get($tz));`

The above example will output:

    Array
    (
        [country_code] => ID
        [latitude] => -6.16667
        [longitude] => 106.8
        [comments] => Java, Sumatra
    )
    Array
    (
        [country_code] => ID
        [latitude] => -6.16667
        [longitude] => 106.8
        [comments] => Java, Sumatra
    )

The `country_code` elements contains the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code for each entry. The `latitude` and `longitude` elements the coordinates of the named city from the time zone identifier, and `comments` contain (when not `false`) a hint of where in the given country this timezone applies. This information is suitable to present to end-users.
