Bug #70502 [Com]: Kathmandu time zone offset is wrong

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70502&edit=1 ID: 70502 Comment by: phil dot davis at inf dot org Reported by: phil dot davis at inf dot org Summary: Kathmandu time zone offset is wrong Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Date/time related Operating System: Multiple PHP Version: 5.5.29 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Looking in https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/date/lib/timezonemap.h Search for "npt". Unfortunately lots of places seem to like to use the time zone abbreviation "npt". The first of these is "America/St_Johns". That is a bit unfortunate, but part of life, I guess :) So the only real problem I see here is with Asia/Kathmandu and Asia/Katmandu being listed in the Indian Stndard Time zone "ist". The proposed fix for that is the referenced pull request 1522 mentioned here.

Nepal Kathmandu is UTC+05:45 so the offset should be 3600 * 5.75 = 20700 Test script: --------------- $x = timezone_name_from_abbr("NPT"); var_dump($x); $y = DateTimeZone::listAbbreviations(); var_dump($y); Expected result: ---------------- $x should have "Asia/Kathmandu" The output in $y should have for Asia/Kathmandu and Asia/Katmandu [7]=> array(3) { ["dst"]=> bool(false) ["offset"]=> int(20700) ["timezone_id"]=> string(14) "Asia/Kathmandu" } [8]=> array(3) { ["dst"]=> bool(false) ["offset"]=> int(20700) ["timezone_id"]=> string(13) "Asia/Katmandu" } Actual result: -------------- string(16) "America/St_Johns" In the $y output: [7]=> array(3) { ["dst"]=> bool(false) ["offset"]=> int(19800) ["timezone_id"]=> string(14) "Asia/Kathmandu" } [8]=> array(3) { ["dst"]=> bool(false) ["offset"]=> int(19800) ["timezone_id"]=> string(13) "Asia/Katmandu" } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70502&edit=1
