function timezonechoice($selectedzone) {
$all = timezone_identifiers_list();
$i = 0;
foreach($all AS $zone) {
$zone = explode('/',$zone);
$zonen[$i]['continent'] = isset($zone[0]) ? $zone[0] : '';
$zonen[$i]['city'] = isset($zone[1]) ? $zone[1] : '';
$zonen[$i]['subcity'] = isset($zone[2]) ? $zone[2] : '';
$i++;
}
asort($zonen);
$structure = '';
foreach($zonen AS $zone) {
extract($zone);
