PHP version verses timezonedb version verses Olsen timezone database version

ak
Q1: I am looking to find/build a table of PHP version verses timezonedb
version shipped with it.
For example, I think that 5.2.0 updated the timezonedb to the 2006.14
version.
Is there a table of PHP version verses timezonedb version.

Q2: I am also looking to find a table of timezonedb version verses
Olsen timezone database used to construct it.
For example, I think that the 2006.16 version corresponds to the Olsen
tzdata2006p.

We are very keen to obtain these tables, so that we can determine the
extent of our exposure the 2007 US DST change, resulting from the US
Energy act.
As US DST will happen soon, we have an interest in understanding sooner
rather than later...
We have a variety of PHP versions in use, but can only assess which are
impacted if we can ultimately map each to a particular Olsen version,
as we know (or rather, IBM helpfully collated) what changes went into
each.

Not sure how to get this information... Maybe there's a test to see if
DST is being properly handled...? FWIW, the release dates for
timezonedb are here: http://pecl.php.net/package/timezonedb.

Thanks, but had seen that link already.

Another alternative may be to difference the .xml files included in the
packages, and try to correlate that to changes in Olsen tzdata - not
easy, or necessarily foolproof...

http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=9109 strongly suggests that
timezonedb version 2006.<Ncorrespo nds to Olsen tzdata2006<Lwhe re
<Lis the <N>th letter of the alphabet.
Hence 2006.14 corresponds to tzdata2006n and 2006.16 corresponds to
tzdata2006p.

So now I'm left with the question as to which levels of PHP include
which levels of timezonedb.

I guess I'm confused by the whole timezone thing and I don't want to write a web app that gets this stuff wrong. I don't know how timezones work exactly -- is it just hours +/- on GMT or are there going to be minor differences on minutes and seconds too? What I want to do is have a web app that one logs into (great place for submitting the browser's view on time via Javascript) and then the user sees the records from the database with...

Not sure if this is an xml or a ado.net question: I have created an xml document from a .net dataset which contains a DateTime column, however all the time elements are set to 00:00:00. example of xml created: <Date>2005-06-03T00:00:00.0000000+01:00</Date> I am based in the UK and my computer timezone is set to GMT (although the above data may have been created during DST).

When a timestamp string input contains a timezone abbreviation (CDT, PST, etc), which timezone offset is used? The input date's or today date's? The result on my computer suggests the latter. # create table ts (ts timestamptz); # insert into ts values ('2004-10-17 00:00:00 CDT'); -- UTC-5 # insert into ts values ('2004-11-17 00:00:00 CDT'); -- UTC-6 # select ts at time zone 'utc' from ts; timezone ---------------------

Hi all, is there maybe a property on the JCC driver which, when set, will convert the selected TIMESTAMP attribute to my local timezone. The database server is in the different timezone than the client, and I have set the java property 'user.timezone' on the client to my timezone. Thanks.

Hi, I wonder if it's possible to detect a user (the browser's) timezone when he/she access my php file? I saw ppl suggesting using javascript to collect that information. But I wonder if it's possible to do it without the headache of javascript. Thanks,

Hi All, Using pytz, I am facing a problem with Asia/Calcutta, described below. Asia/Calcutta is actually IST, which is GMT + 5:30. But while using pytz, it was recognized as HMT (GMT + 5:53).

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
