In case you have on server, which you don't administer, version of php < 5.2 and need
timezone conversion similar to DateTime, you can use this:
<?php
class DateUtils {
public static function serverTime2ForeignTime($serverTimeStamp, $timezoneToTransferTo =
"Europe/Prague") {
// get local int representation of time
$localTimestamp = strtotime($serverTimeStamp);
// get far away places int representation of time
$timezoneTimestamp = strtotime($serverTimeStamp . ' ' . $timezoneToTransferTo);
// get difference of times
$timezoneDifference = $timezoneTimestamp - $localTimestamp;
// ammend local time to represent the same second as time in far away place
return date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $localTimestamp - $timezoneDifference);
}
}
//$timezoneToTransferTo should be in Olsen format.
?>
It passed our set of unit tests generated using DateTime + DateTimeZone (we use just 76 zones, but
don't have a reason to think it wont work for all)
