Examples

List identifiers with location comments

php

<?php
$identifiers = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(DateTimeZone::ALL);

foreach ($identifiers as $tzid) {
    $tz = new DateTimeZone($tzid);
    $comments = $tz->getLocation()['comments'];
    echo $tzid . " (" . ($comments ?: 'Whole region') . ")\n";
}
