note 73995 added to function.timezone-offset-get

The following extended example may make the usage clearer; <?php // Create two timezone objects, one for Taipei (Taiwan) and one for // Tokyo (Japan) $dateTimeZoneTaipei = new DateTimeZone("Asia/Taipei"); $dateTimeZoneJapan = new DateTimeZone("Asia/Tokyo"); // Create two DateTime objects that will contain the same Unix timestamp, but // have different timezones attached to them. $dateTimeTaipei = new DateTime("now", $dateTimeZoneTaipei); $dateTimeJapan = new DateTime("now", $dateTimeZoneJapan); // NOTE: $dateTimeJapan is not used further in this example // Calculate the GMT offset for the date/time contained in the $dateTimeTaipei // object, but using the timezone rules as defined for Tokyo // ($dateTimeZoneJapan). $timeOffset = $dateTimeZoneJapan->getOffset($dateTimeTaipei); // Should show int(32400) (for dates after Sat Sep 8 01:00:00 1951 JST). print("Number of seconds Japan is ahead of GMT at the specific time: "); var_dump($timeOffset); print("<br />Number of seconds Taipei is ahead of GMT at the specific time: "); var_dump($dateTimeZoneTaipei->getOffset($dateTimeTaipei)); print("<br />Number of seconds Japan is ahead of Taipei at the specific time: "); var_dump($dateTimeZoneJapan->getOffset($dateTimeTaipei) -$dateTimeZoneTaipei->getOffset($dateTimeTaipei)); print("<hr />"); ?> Number of seconds Japan is ahead of GMT at the specific time: int(32400) Number of seconds Taipei is ahead of GMT at the specific time: int(28800) Number of seconds Japan is ahead of Taipei at the specific time: int(3600) ---- Server IP: 194.145.210.4 Probable Submitter: 87.74.47.50 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.timezone-offset-get.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73995 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73995/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73995/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73995/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73995/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73995/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73995/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73995 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73995 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
