Bug #65995 [NEW]: FET timezone is missing in DateTimeZone

From: szahariev at sevone dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.4.21 Package: Date/time related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:FET timezone is missing in DateTimeZone Description: ------------ PHP's DateTimeZone doesn't currently support the FET (Far Eastern European Time) timezone, which is a valid timezone since 2011 according to IANA: http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdata2013h.tar.gz The only two major cities in there are Europe/Kaliningrad and Europe/Minsk. Even if PHP refuses to support it, it shouldn't output FET, when format "T" is used for timezone Europe/Kaliningrad. Test script: --------------- <?php $dateTimeZone = new DateTimeZone('Europe/Kaliningrad'); $dateTime = new DateTime('now', $dateTimeZone); // will fail here, because FET timezone doesn't exist yet new DateTimeZone($dateTime->format("T")); Expected result: ---------------- No exception thrown from PHP. Actual result: -------------- PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'DateTimeZone::__construct(): Unknown or bad timezone (FET)' in /home/sofit/Downloads/php-5.4.21/test.php:5 Stack trace: #0 /home/sofit/Downloads/php-5.4.21/test.php(5): DateTimeZone->__construct('FET') #1 {main} thrown in /home/sofit/Downloads/php-5.4.21/test.php on line 5 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65995&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65995&r=mysqlcfg
