DateTimeZone::listAbbreviations -- timezone_abbreviations_list — Returns associative array containing dst, offset and the timezone name
面向对象风格
过程化风格
Returns array on success 或者在失败时返回 FALSE
.
Example #1 A timezone_abbreviations_list() example
<?php
$timezone_abbreviations = DateTimeZone :: listAbbreviations ();
print_r ( $timezone_abbreviations [ "acst" ]);
?>
以上例程的输出类似于:
Array ( [0] => Array ( [dst] => 1 [offset] => -14400 [timezone_id] => America/Porto_Acre ) [1] => Array ( [dst] => 1 [offset] => -14400 [timezone_id] => America/Eirunepe ) [2] => Array ( [dst] => 1 [offset] => -14400 [timezone_id] => America/Rio_Branco ) [3] => Array ( [dst] => 1 [offset] => -14400 [timezone_id] => Brazil/Acre ))

This method returns an associative array containing some 'major' timezones (like CEST), which on their own contain more specific 'geographic' timezones (like Europe/Amsterdam).
If you're using these timezones and their offset/DST information, it's extremely important to realize the following:
*It seems like ALL DIFFERENT OFFSET/DST CONFIGURATIONS (including historical configurations) of each timezone are included!*
For example, Europe/Amsterdam can be found six times in the output of this function. Two occurrences (offset 1172/4772) are for the Amsterdam time used until 1937; two (1200/4800) are for the time that was used between 1937 and 1940; and two (3600/4800) are for the time used since 1940.
*Therefore, YOU CANNOT RELY ON THE OFFSET/DST INFORMATION RETURNED BY THIS FUNCTION as being currently correct/in use!*
If you want to know the current offset/DST of a certain timezone, you'll have to do something like this:
<?php
$now = new DateTime(null, new DateTimeZone('Europe/Amsterdam'));
echo $now->getOffset();
?>
P.S. I'm sorry for my use of caps lock in this post, but as this behavior is not described in the documentation, I considered it to be important enough to shout. Normally I don't do such things :)

Note that the dst field is of boolean type, so if you are doing an identity comparison, you need to test for true or false, not 0 or 1. For example:
<?php
$timezone_abbreviations = DateTimeZone::listAbbreviations();
foreach ($timezone_abbreviations["est"] as $tz) {
echo $tz['timezone_id'];
// if ($tz['dst'] === 1) will always evaluate to false
if ($tz['dst'] === true) {
echo " (DST observed)<br />\n";
}
// Could use else here, but for illustration...
if ($tz['dst'] === false) {
echo " (DST not observed)<br />\n";
}
}
?>
