Bug #54466 [Fbk->Csd]: Timezone offset for America/Caracas is wrong

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54466&edit=1 ID: 54466 User updated by: jose dot zap at gmail dot com Reported by: jose dot zap at gmail dot com Summary: Timezone offset for America/Caracas is wrong -Status: Feedback +Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: Date/time related PHP Version: 5.3.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Sorry for opening the ticket with so little information, and thank you very much for your reply. I was using a third party library fro listing all timezones along with their offsets and while all seemed right, this one was listed as -5.5, I tested the code you provided and in fact -4.5 is returned. I guess I'll have to fix the library instead. Again, thanks a lot for your help and sorry for wasting your time :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-06 09:18:03] aharvey@php.net I'm rather confused by your bug: DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers() doesn't list offsets, and the code that does appears to be correct on any recent PHP version: <?php $tz = new DateTimeZone("America/Caracas"); var_dump($tz->getOffset(new DateTime()) / 3600); ?> outputs float(-4.5), which lines up with your bug. What version of PHP are you running, what does phpinfo() list the Olson Timezone Database Version as, and what do you get when you run the above code? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-04-04 17:38:48] jose dot zap at gmail dot com Description: ------------ When using DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers() the offset for America/Caracas is shown as GMT -5:30, when it should be GMT -4:30 This can be validated here http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/sa/vet.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54466&edit=1
