timezone_identifiers_list
timezone_name_from_abbr() sometimes returns FALSE instead of an actual timezone: http://bugs.php.net/44780
It's possible to workaround it for some cases by getting the timezone name from timezone_abbreviations_list(). For example, if you have the GMT offset and want a timezone name:
<?php
/* Takes a GMT offset (in hours) and returns a timezone name */
function tz_offset_to_name($offset)
{
$offset *= 3600; // convert hour offset to seconds
$abbrarray = timezone_abbreviations_list();
foreach ($abbrarray as $abbr)
{
foreach ($abbr as $city)
{
if ($city['offset'] == $offset)
{
return $city['timezone_id'];
}
}
}
return FALSE;
}
?>
