从表单中获取日期和时区

Question

I get an array from a form $formData:

Array ( [first_name] => 12 [last_name] => 1 [date] => DateTime Object ( [date] => 2008-01-01 00:00:00 [timezone_type] => 3 [timezone] => Europe/Berlin ) [sex_id] => 1 [terms] => 1 )

How do I get to [date] and [timezone]?

This doesn't work:

$formData['date']->getTimezone();

Answer 1

As long as $formData['date'] really returns an object of type DateTime getTimezone() will work. This will return the DateTimeZone object.

In order to get the timezone's name use:

$formData['date']->getTimezone()->getName()

... or ...

timezone_name_get($formData['date']->getTimezone());
