Specification of time zone

Time zone is set by local php.ini settings. Therefore $nameday->today() will return result according to that. If you need to specify different time zone you can do so by adding optional parameter $timeZone to the constructor. $timeZone must be PHP time zones string or integer offset to GMT.

$nameday = new Nameday('Pacific/Honolulu');
echo $nameday->today(); # will return today name days according to Pacific/Honolulu time zone

$nameday = new Nameday('+13:30');
echo $nameday->tomorrow(); # will return today name days according to given UTC offset
