Hello fellow PHPer's,
Daylight savings is soon upon most of us and I have some
questions in regard to timestamps. My problem: So we put our clocks an
hour back. I have database tables with plain integers that store
timestamps. I like to do comparison operations with these timestamps.
When daylight savings takes effect the pre-daylight savings timestamps
are an hour ahead of the daylight saving timestamps and cause time
operations to calculate incorrectly. What is the solution? Could I
offset the new timestamps to ignore daylight savings, make all my
timestamps none-daylight savings timestamps?
