timezone_version_get

PHP function Edit on GitHub ✎

(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

Gets the version of the timezonedb

Description

timezone_version_get(): string

Returns the current version of the timezonedb.

Parameters Parameters

Return Values

Returns a string in the format YYYY.increment, such as 2022.2.

If you have a timezone database version that is old (for example, it doesn't show the current year), then you can update the timezone information by either upgrading your PHP version, or installing the timezonedb PECL package.

Some Linux distributions patch PHP's date/time support to use an alternative source for timezone information. In which case this function will return 0.system. You are encouraged to install the timezonedb PECL package in that case as well.

Examples

Getting the timezonedb version

php
<?php
echo timezone_version_get();

The above example will output something similar to:

output
2022.2
