TimeZoneSelect
==============

[](#timezoneselect)

Creating a time zone select in PHP can get unruly quickly, as DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers() returns over 415 Zones and Links. This is an attempt to take a page from Ruby on Rails' ActiveSupport::TimeZone time\_zone\_select(), largely by using their curated list of about 150 Zones, and also by allowing for 'priority\_zones' to be at the top of the list.

[![Screenshot of timezone select](timezone-select-screenshot.png?raw=true "Screenshot of timezone select")](timezone-select-screenshot.png?raw=true)

Example:

`echo TimeZoneSelect::get_select(['country'=>'US']);`

Simple demo avaiable:

Available args w/ default values:

```
[
    'country'        => '',          //ISO-3116 2-letter country code
    'priority_zones' => [],          //If you want to specify a list of zones that aren't country-specific
    'priority_label' => 'Regional',  //The label of the optgroup for the priority zones

    'selected'       => '',          //which option is selected

    'name'           => 'time_zone', //name for the
    'class'          => '',          //class for the
    'id'             => '',          //id for the
    'data'           => [],          //list of data attributes to add to the
]

```

- This repo involves occasionally scraping the rails repo. Here is the ticket asking Rails to make their data file more easily accessible: [rails/rails#22088](https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/22088)
- It would be much easier if there was a similarly curated list inside of PHP. Here's the request to them for that:
