I'll say sorry in advance if this was already discussed, but... The govt changed daylight savings time so that DST starts on the second Sunday in March (March 11, 2007) instead of the first Sunday in April, and ends on the first Sunday in November (November 4) instead of the last Sunday of October. Any conversation/perspectives on how this will work out with PHP and date functions?
My guess, and it's just a guess, is that as updated timezone data packages are rolled out to servers, any times that were stored as integer timestamps are going to be an hour off during those periods. Times stored as strings shouldn't be affected. FWIW, I'm hearing from the admins at work that this is going to cause major havoc on the desktop side, especially with Outlook events. I keep waiting for this story to break on CNN because it seems to be catching everyone by surprise, but I guess it won't be on the radar until March. -- Chris Snyder http://chxo.com/ _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
