note 99309 added to class.datetime

If you have timezone information in the time string you construct the DateTime object with, you cannot add an extra timezone in the constructor. It will ignore the timezone information in the time string: $date = new DateTime("2010-07-05T06:00:00Z", new DateTimeZone("Europe/Amsterdam")); will create a DateTime object set to "2010-07-05 06:00:00+0200" (+2 being the TZ offset for Europe/Amsterdam) To get this done, you will need to set the timezone separately: $date = new DateTime("2010-07-05T06:00:00Z"); $date->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone("Europe/Amsterdam"); This will create a DateTime object set to "2010-07-05 08:00:00+0200" ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 80.101.120.34 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/99309 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99309/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99309/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99309/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99309/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99309/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99309/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/99309 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/99309 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
