Print comments associated with timezones for a specific country. In this example, print all the comments for Canadian timezones.



<?php

$timeZones = DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(DateTimeZone::PER_COUNTRY, 'CA');

foreach ( $timeZones as $key => $zoneName )

{

    $tz = new DateTimeZone($zoneName);

    $loc = $tz->getLocation();

    print($zoneName . " = " . $loc['comments'] . "<br>");

}

?>



Output:

America/Blanc-Sablon = Atlantic Standard Time - Quebec - Lower North Shore

America/Cambridge_Bay = Mountain Time - west Nunavut
