Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-11-03 00:44:30] mail+php at requinix dot net I think you're confused. There are two getOffset() methods: one in DateTimeZone which requires a DateTime argument, and another in DateTime which takes no arguments. The example you're quoting works fine for me (5.3.10). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-11-01 23:45:17] mike at mikehoward dot com dot au Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/datetimezone.getoffset#refsect1- datetimezone.getoffset-examples --- The example for getOffset says: // Calculate the GMT offset for the date/time contained in the $dateTimeTaipei // object, but using the timezone rules as defined for Tokyo // ($dateTimeZoneJapan). $timeOffset = $dateTimeZoneJapan->getOffset($dateTimeTaipei); This is not correct. You can't pass a DateTime object when used this way. Test script: --------------- // This is not a test script - this is a suggestion to replace the current example // Create a timezone object $dateTimeZoneSyd = new DateTimeZone("Australia/Sydney"); // Create a DateTime object (it's daylight savings time now - 2012-11-02) $dateTimeSydney = new DateTime("now", $dateTimeZoneSyd); // Calculate the GMT offset for the date/time contained in the object $timeOffset = $dateTimeSydney->getOffset(); // Should show int(39600). var_dump($timeOffset); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63415&edit=1
