Hi,
I need to get the current time in EST timezone while my current timezone is
CEST. I use the function :
date_default_timezone_set('EST')
But now the time that I get is 1 hour less than the time in EST (
http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/eastern-time/),
probably
without taking care of the daylight savings time (DST)... Can anyone help me
out how to solve it, its an urgent issue for me.
Thanks a lot in advance,
regards,
Rakesh
