Version: 1.0.0

This is a simple timezone package for use with php and mysql timezone tables. It allows you to get the current timezone, get the time in any timezone now, and generate a list of all possible timezones and their current time. This is great for creating applications which are required to know what timezone the user is in such as scheduling applications.

Installation:

1. Install timezone tables for mysql
2. run composer require henshall\timezones

Usage:

Use this to get and get your local timezone. Read the notes below on setting timezones.

$timezone = new Timezone("localhost", "username", "password", "database_name", "local_timezone(optional)");
$timezone->set_local_timezone("Europe/Moscow");
$local_timezone = $timezone->get_local_timezone();

Get array of all Timezones and their current times

$timezone = new Timezone("localhost", "username", "password", "database_name", "local_timezone(optional)");
$timezone->get_timezones_and_current_times()

Get local current time in a specific timezone

$timezone = new Timezone("localhost", "username", "password", "database_name", "local_timezone(optional)");
$japan_time = $timezone->get_time_now("Japan");

NOTES:

• Your computers clock must be set correctly. If your clock it not set correctly, the timezone calculations will be wrong.
• The local timezone (find with get_local_timezone()) must be your current timezone. If the timezone is wrong, the calculations will also be wrong.
• This application will automatically determine your current timezone using the mysql tables, if it does this improperly, you may need to set it manually as shown in the examples above.
