Bug #52363 [NEW]: timezone_name_from_abbr problem

From: Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:timezone_name_from_abbr problem Description: ------------ The timezone_name_from_abbr function suggests that you can get the timezone from $gmtOffset and $isdst (passing an empty $abbr string). I don't think that is possible, as there is no 1 to 1 relation. Correct me if I am wrong, but if $isdst = 0, it might mean that the timezone currently has no daylight saving or that the timezone has never daylight saving. How can the function differentiate between the two timezones? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52363&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52363&r=mysqlcfg
