README

Fat-Free Framework plugin to detect and set PHP timezone based on request data.

This plugin checks for timezone information in the incoming request (HEADERS, GET, POST, COOKIE, SESSION) and sets it globally using date_default_timezone_set().

💡 Installation

Require via Composer:

composer require antonchaikin/f3-timezone

Or add manually to composer.json:

"require": {
  "antonchaikin/f3-timezone": "^1.0"
}

🚀 Usage

In your index.php:

use F3Timezone\TimezonePlugin;

$f3 = \Base::instance();

// Register the plugin
TimezonePlugin::register();

// Set timezone from request
$f3->updateTimezone();

📦 What it does

• Searches for a timezone value in:
  • HEADERS
  • GET
  • POST
  • COOKIE
  • SESSION
• Accepts only valid PHP timezones
• Automatically applies it using date_default_timezone_set(...)

✅ Example

If a client sends this header:

Timezone: Europe/Warsaw

The plugin will detect it and call:

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Warsaw');
