PHP Timezone Converter
======================

[](#php-timezone-converter)

The PHP Timezone Converter is a utility library for seamless conversion between Windows and IANA (Olson) timezones, enabling interoperability and enhancing date/time handling across different systems. Ideal for projects requiring compatibility with various timezone standards, this library simplifies the conversion process, making your application more versatile and user-friendly.

Features
--------

- Supports a wide range of PHP versions (>=7.4).

The Timezone Converter can be used statically, offering straightforward methods for conversion:

### Convert from Olson to Windows Timezone

[](#convert-from-olson-to-windows-timezone)

```
use Abdulsametsahin\TimezoneConverter\TimezoneConverter;

$windowsTimezone = TimezoneConverter::toWindows('Europe/Istanbul');
echo $windowsTimezone; // Outputs corresponding Windows timezone
```

### Convert from Windows to Olson Timezone

[](#convert-from-windows-to-olson-timezone)
