Hello,

The lists of timezones comes from: http://php.net/manual/en/datetimezone.listidentifiers.php

Why no Africa or Australia? Antarctica is spelt wrongly. Apart from that I found it useful, thanks.

Found this today, really useful and was exactly what I was looking for, so thanks.

I’ve added a couple of things, one to catch if it’s been posted and add the selected tag, and also I’ve moved the city structure around so it shows the citys when the are multiple sub citys (Argentina for eg)

Thanks again!

$timezone_identifiers = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers();
foreach( $timezone_identifiers as $value ){
if ( preg_match( '/^(America|Antartica|Arctic|Asia|Atlantic|Europe|Indian|Pacific)\//', $value ) ){
$ex=explode("/",$value);//obtain continent,city
if ($continent!=$ex[0]){
if ($continent!="") echo '’;
echo ”;
}

if(isset($ex[2])){
$city=$ex[1].”/”.$ex[2];
} else {
$city=$ex[1];
}

$continent=$ex[0];
echo ”.$city.”;
}
}
?>
