Re: timezone problem

I had a similar issue, for a thing I'm doing for a Messageboard I am writing I need the timezones and offsets, so I compiled the best I could off different sites and info, and created a Mysql Table with all the timezones and offsets. there are duplicate offsets but since people know their TZ as different things depending where they live. I can do a dump if people would like Chris Riordan http://www.hal-9000.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "SP" <internetracer@yifan.net> To: "Baba Buehler" <baba@BabaZ.com>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 12:47 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] timezone problem > Hi Baba > > I've been trying to get as much info on this as > possible and you are right it is quite messy. > Thanks for that link, I'm going to take a look at > your code. > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Baba Buehler [mailto:baba@BabaZ.com] > Sent: May 21, 2002 5:37 AM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] timezone problem > > > Miguel Cruz wrote: > > > > In short, I believe it's an OS rather than a PHP > thing. > > > > time zones can be a messy and tricky beast. all > the PHP functions rely on > the underlying OS implementation of time zone > information. sometimes this > is controlled by the TZ environment variable, > sometimes it is not. > > my solution was to extract as much info as > reasonable from the zoneinfo > database and manipulate it in PHP directly. the > solution is not perfect, > but is probably the best that can be done without > more PHP access to the > underlying zoneinfo implementation. > > my code (with all the time zone data & zone IDs) > is in PEAR: > http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?pacid=57 > > > thanks, > baba > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: > http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > >
