[PHP] Timezones

2007-05-15 Thread Rob Desbois
After my last week's email on timezones I have come to the decision that it is far more sensible to cease using fixed offsets from UTC (e.g. +2:00) and to use the proper zones e.g. "Europe/London". After doing some reading up on the subject as I am not too familiar with it, I understand that it i

Hi, I have a legacy PHP3 system and a MySQL DB with two tables: user { user_id int, timezone varchar (like "Europe/Brussels", "US/Eastern", "America/New_York", etc.) } and messages { msg_id int, user_id int, date int } When a user submits a message, my PHP script (using time() function) sto

If you want to do it correctly it is much more difficult to calculate the TZ than you think. The problem is that different time zones shift to daylight savings at different times and some do not shift at all. Therefore simply adding the offset will work for a while and then you will get problems i
