在这里回答这个问题之后，我使用@Toland Hon的答案来生成时区列表。列表很大(我得到一个包含 420 个值的数组(。有没有办法将列表的大小减小到仅重要时区？

他们只列出了154个时区。从我在StackOverflow中读到的内容来看，使用静态列表并不好，所以我不打算制作静态列表。
如果我使用我需要的时区名称制作一个数组，$timezoneList，并且在向用户显示下拉列表时，我可以使用 $timezoneList 和 DateTimeZone->getOffset 生成一个带有偏移量的适当数组，这是一个好主意吗？
这是我
的解决方案。我有一个带有时区标识符和显示(用于前端(的硬编码数组，我用它来生成具有正确偏移显示的数组。
static function generateTimeZoneList()
{
static $timezone_list;
if(!isset($timezone_list) || empty($timezone_list))
{
$identifiers = self::getIdentifiers(); //get identifiers list
$temp_list = array();
foreach( $identifiers as $timezone => $display )
{
$tz = new DateTimeZone($timezone);
$temp_list[$timezone] = $tz->getOffset(new DateTime);
}
// sort timezone by offset
asort($temp_list);
foreach($temp_list as $timezone => $offset)
{
$offset_prefix = $offset < 0 ? '-' : '+';
$offset_formatted = gmdate( 'H:i', abs($offset) );
$pretty_offset = "GMT${offset_prefix}${offset_formatted}";
$display = $identifiers[$timezone];
$timezone_list[$timezone] = "($pretty_offset) $display";
}
}
return $timezone_list;
}
