Bug #13984 Updated: date(I) does not correctly identify daylight saving time

ID: 13984 Updated by: jimw Reported By: bmplummer1@home.com Old Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Windows NT/XP PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: in a timezone that does not observe daylight savings time, there is no such thing as a time within daylight savings time. not all timezones that observe daylight savings time observe the same dates for time changes. so if you want to know if a particular data/time falls within daylight savings time *in a particular time zone* you have to set the timezone. this is not a bug. this is not an issue. it is just how daylight savings time works.

[2001-11-06 00:20:42] jimw@php.net if you want to check if a date occurs during daylight savings time, you have to set your timezone to one that observes daylight savings time. (ie. putenv("TZ=PST8PDT")) there's no bug here. --------------------------------------------------------- There may not be a bug but there is a issue here. What about timezones that don't observe daylight saving time (Like the entire state of Arizona)? Are the millions of us that fall under that category just out of luck? By the way, Arizona is the home of the World Series Champion Diamondbacks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13984&edit=1
