get and set local timezone in php

@usamamashkoor Your application’s timezone is stored in your config/app.php file. If you want to override this for users, then you’ll need to do it in a service provider or something.

@martinbean Currently that is not the issue the issue how i can get the user local timezone using php

We are using a javascript setup to prefill a timezone dropdown with the timezone that is set in the users browser.

<!-- From https://cdnjs.com/libraries/jstimezonedetect -->
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jstimezonedetect/1.0.6/jstz.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        timezone = jstz.determine();
        $('.timezone_detect').html(timezone.name());
        $('select option:contains(' + timezone.name() + ')').prop('selected',true);
        // $('#selectbox').setAttribute('title', 'test_title');
    });
</script>

You can see it in action here: https://www.eventfellows.com -> click on Add Test Event to see the dropdown.

Beware that this uses the user timezone SETTING, not the users current location (though it should be identical in most situations). Another - but seemingly less reliable - apporach would be to use an IP lookup to determine the users timezone.

@EventFellows how i can access this in PHP because Javascript is client Side and PHP is server side, I want to set the timezone in the Class constructor when the page Loads in php

Thanks Usama
