PHP: Get list of all timezone identifiers

Getting the list of all timezone identifiers in PHP is fairly easy as PHP has the built in function timezone_identifiers_list().

A timezone identifier can be used for example in the PHP function date_default_timezone_set ( string $timezone_identifier ).

See in this example how to use that function and see below what the output of this function is.

The output of the function timezone_identifiers_list() depends on the PHP version you are using.

<?php

  $timezones = timezone_identifiers_list();
  
  foreach($timezones as &$tzone) {
    echo "<p>$tzone</p>";
  }
  
  ?>

The output of the code shown above is the following:

(Please note: The output is in alphabetical order and not in geographical order of the timezones!)
