For quite some time now, my z-push server has been receiving a timezone from a couple of devices (both iPhones 6 or 7) which is not supported by Z-Push. The timezone we are having problems with is as per below:
W. Australia Standard Time
I notice, however, that while it is not exactly in the TimezoneUtil file, a nearly identical one is:
W Australia Standard Time (no full stop).
Rather than adding another one, I feel that it may be more beneficial to calculate the difference between the 2 strings. Therefore, I would like to suggest an ammendment to the getMSTZnameFromTZName function. I have run this modification live for the past week and feel that maybe it may be suitable for the z-push project. As commented out below, I have added this between the 2nd and 3rd foreach loops in this function.
foreach (self::$phptimezones as $tzn => $phptzs) {
if (in_array($name, $phptzs)) {
$tzName = $tzn;
break;
}
}
/*
//If timezone name not found, try and find the closest match
if ($tzName == '') {
$closesttzn = -1;
$perc = 0;
$testperc = 0;
foreach (self::$phptimezones as $tzn => $phptzs) {
if ( $closesttzn === -1 ) {
$closesttzn = $tzn;
} else {
similar_text($tzn, $name, $testperc);
if ( $testperc > 95 && ($perc < $testperc) ) {
//If the strings are at least a 95% match and the new one is a better match than the last one
$perc = $testperc;
$tzName = $tzn;
}
}
}
}
*/
if ($tzName != '') {
foreach (self::$mstzones as $mskey => $msdefs) {
if ($tzName == $msdefs[0])
return $msdefs[1];
}
}
