I am printing time slots according some business hours in 30min difference to select start time of online appointment.
Am stuck on a problem, here brief explanation:
Bussiness Hours(start-end) = 10:00am - 5:00pm
Slot settings: 30min
Then slot listing will be display as:
10:00am - 10:30am - 11:00am - 11:30am - 12:00pm - 12:30pm - 01:00pm 01:30pm - 02:00pm - 2:30pm - 03:00pm - 03:30pm - 04:00pm - 04:30pm
I getting current server timezone time using hardcore $UserTimeZoneIdentifire
timezone identifier variable and disabling all past time according current server timezone running time.
$UserTimeZoneIdentifire = "America/Denver";
For example:
If Customer 'ABC' current timezone time is: 12:33pm then all time slots between 10am-12:33pm will be disable and available time will be start from 12:35pm (rounding of minute in multiple of 5).
Here some code:
/**
* If appointment date is current date then get current user's timezone time
*/
$UserTimeZoneIdentifire = "America/Denver";
if(strtotime($AppointmentDate) == strtotime(date("Y-m-d"))) {
date_default_timezone_set($UserTimeZoneIdentifire);
echo $Biz_start_time = $BusinessHours['Biz_start_time']; echo "--biz start time<br>";
echo $UserCurrentTime = date("h:i A"); echo "--current server time<br>";
echo $ServerCurMinute = substr($UserCurrentTime, 3,5); echo "--strip minutes time<br>";
echo $RoundOffMinute = round(($ServerCurMinute+5/2)/5)*5; echo "--round off minutes time<br>";
if($RoundOffMinute > 55) {
/*
* If minutes are greater then 55 then add 1 hour in time
*/
$UserCurrentTime = substr_replace($UserCurrentTime, "00", 3, 2);
$UserCurrentTime = date("h:i A", strtotime("+1 hour", strtotime($UserCurrentTime)));
} else {
if($RoundOffMinute <= 5) {
$RoundOffMinute = "0".$RoundOffMinute;
}
$UserCurrentTime = substr_replace($UserCurrentTime, $RoundOffMinute, 3, 2);
}
$Biz_start_time = $UserCurrentTime;
$Biz_end_time = $BusinessHours['Biz_end_time'];
} else {
$Biz_start_time = "10:00am ";
$Biz_end_time = "05:00pm";
}
Problem is, I have stored hard-coded value of my timezone identifier in a php variable. But, How could I get current server timezone identifier using php to set $UserTimeZoneIdentifire variable dynamically rather than hard coded value at any timezone?
So, any of help and other technique appreciated through you guys. Thanks.
