Timezones in PHP

Introduction

In PHP 5, there are some methods to set or get the default timezone. For example, using this code, I set the default timezone used by all date/time functions:

<?php
    date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Tehran"); //I set timezone for Tehran
?>

In another example, I set the default timezone for Tokyo:

<?php
    date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Tokyo");
?>

There are many lists of timezones in the PHP manual (for more info about date_default_timezone_set, see here). I just got them into the menu list in HTML.
