But in some situations the offset is the only way that you have to manipulate Timezone. In this situation with you interact with a DateTime object setting TimeZone more the once, it can cause some strange situations, some cases, event timestamp from DateTime appears to be changed. Test script: --------------- I got some situations with DateTime and DateTimeZone appears not showing data in the right way. // example 1 - Timestamp is changing $datetime = new DateTime('2016-11-09 20:00:00', new DateTimeZone('UTC')); var_dump($datetime->getTimestamp()); $datetime->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone('-03:00')); $datetime->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone('-03:00')); var_dump($datetime->getTimestamp()); // example 2 - Timestamp keeps if you use getTimestamp() before second setTimeZone() calls $datetime = new DateTime('2016-11-09 20:00:00', new DateTimeZone('UTC')); var_dump($datetime->getTimestamp()); $datetime->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone('-03:00')); $datetime->getTimestamp(); $datetime->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone('-03:00')); var_dump($datetime->getTimestamp()); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73489&edit=1
