Do a drop-down with all the countries and save this to a setting in the database.
Then replace the 'Europe/London' with their location
$nowInLondonTz = Carbon::now(new DateTimeZone('Europe/London'));

Library to deal with international times in Laravel
Hi all,
I have a project coming that is a bit different from what I usually work on. Instead of having a booking website that is set to local time(I usually only build local projects), I need to be able to set the time of the seller and have the buyer able to sync to that time.
So the usual way based on what I see on other websites is that during the registration the seller and buyer would choose their country from a dropdown menu and this would then set the new time per subsequent queries.
But where do all these websites manage to get this specific dropdown with the time zone please, do you know any good libraries for this?
Also, in this case, how would you set your Laravel config time?
I just need some ideas before mapping the project please as I am worried to go into the wrong direction(with a wrong initial Laravel timezone setup)..
Thanks!

@Elliot_putt That's exactly what I did not want to do(manually) :-)

Ok it looks like my users will have to select their timezone separately from their country in their profile page. I found this is anyone needs it:
