Re: How to determine if date/time is with DST or not ?

which tells you if the locale where the server is was in DST or not on that date - atleast if I understand the PHP documentation right... since the timestamps don't contain locale info ... I wanna know if a specific locale was in DST on that given date .... I hate having to work with dates ... I know it basically requires to code the dst days for the entire globe into the system, but had hoped someone had already done that .... as much as I hate using others code, this is one thing I'd rather avoid having to program...
