Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-02-06 02:04:26] blaak at ensemble dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/datetime.settimezone --- When I run the test script, $d2 does not have its timezone change, e.g. setTimezone() returns null. $d1->getTimezone() seems to be valid, although its name via getName() returns "-08:00" Could this be fixed? Also, it would be nice if all getName() values are valid for the DateTimeZone constructor as well, e.g. why can't this work: new DateTimeZone("-08:00") Test script: --------------- $d1 = new DateTime('2014-02-02T10:00-0800'); $d2 = new DateTime('2014-02-02T11:58+0000'); $d2->setTimezone($d1->getTimezone()); echo "d2: " . $d2->format(DateTime::W3C) . "\n"; Expected result: ---------------- d2: 2014-02-02-T03:58:00-0800 e.g. the time display is relative to the PST time zone. Actual result: -------------- d2: 2014-02-02T11:58:00+00:00 e.g. the timezone did not change, since setTimezone() did not succeed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66651&edit=1
