TimeZone Country Places Primer Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

We’ve elaborated on the PHP TimeZone functionalities today to write another web application where “when” meets “where” via TimeZones.<\/p>\n

Into the mix of the logic here, we need to venture into the world of two letter ISO Country Codes, and we work this with help from http:\/\/php.net\/manual\/en\/datetimezone.getlocation.php<\/a> and http:\/\/stackoverflow.com\/questions\/17842003\/php-intl-country-code-2-chars-to-country-name<\/a> and http:\/\/php.net\/manual\/en\/function.timezone-identifiers-list.php<\/a> and http:\/\/www.timezoneconverter.com\/<\/a> to “hardcode” our HTML select “dropdown” elements we create in the process, and offer TimeZone information HTML select “dropdown” elements as well.<\/p>\n

Also in the mix, as is so often the case for us here, when “where” is part of the “equation”, we use that wonderful Google Charts<\/a> Map Chart<\/a> functionality, to help us out.<\/p>\n

And so we have written our live run<\/a> of the PHP code tz_places.php<\/a> for your perusal.<\/p>\n
