And you are wrong again: <?php $d = date_create( "@1351385100" ); $d->setTimeZone( new DateTimeZone( 'Europe/London' ) ); echo $d->format( 'Y-m-d H:i:s (e)' ), "\n"; $d = date_create( "@1351388700" ); // one hour later $d->setTimeZone( new DateTimeZone( 'Europe/London' ) ); echo $d->format( 'Y-m-d H:i:s (e)' ), "\n"; outputs: 2012-10-28 01:45:00 (Europe/London) 2012-10-28 01:45:00 (Europe/London) And it's clearly not the same moment in time... > Parsing this wouldn't be an issue, It is an issue - there is even an RFC (that I still need to implement) for it: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/datetime_and_daylight_saving_time cheers, Derick -- http://derickrethans.nl | http://xdebug.org Like Xdebug?
