note 106817 added to class.datetimezone

Keep in mind that at least with version 5.3.3, ETC/GMT+5 in fact refers to GMT-5 and ETC/GMT-5 refers to GMT+5. I would suppose it's the same for other timezone. This might have been corrected in newer versions. Proof: <?php $tz = new DateTimeZone("Etc/GMT-5"); $transitions = $tz->getTransitions(); echo $transitions[0]["offset"]; // returns 18000 $tz = new DateTimeZone("Etc/GMT+5"); $transitions = $tz->getTransitions(); echo $transitions[0]["offset"]; // returns -18000 $tz = new DateTimeZone("US/Eastern"); // which is in fact GMT-5 and not GMT+5 during the winter $transitions = $tz->getTransitions(1293840000); // that's 2011-01-01 00:00:00 GMT, guaranteed to be in winter time in US/Eastern echo $transitions[0]["offset"]; // returns -18000 ?> Like I said, it might be fixed in newer versions ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 209.202.82.139 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.datetimezone.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/106817 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106817/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106817/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106817/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106817/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106817/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106817/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106817 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/106817 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
