I heard that the Daylight Savings time in the US will change. Will PHP
deal with this automatically?

Only if the operating system does it correctly.

Only if the timezone has been updated since the shift in DST dates.
$ rpm -qa timezone
timezone-2.4-7.......
I dunno which older version of timezone first included the shift in DST dates.

I run debian and it depends on the libc6 package:
I found this article for anyone interested: https://agora.cs.uiuc.edu/display/ts...+Linux+systems
I run debian sarge and it is OK according to this page.
dpkg -l libc6 shows I have version 2.3.2.ds1-22sa
Thanks for your help!

For posterity's sake, here is an algorithm I created to take a GMT
time and convert it to U.S. central time, accounting for daylight
saving time. Note: this algorithm can be modified to work for any
other U.S. timezone by changing the number of second subtracted at the
end.

Hi,
Is there any way to make time-of-day adjustments for daylight savings
using only standard time functions? We have a program that executes
daily at a fixed time of day. After daylight savings happens, the
time-of-day alignment is lost. For example, if the daily task gets
kicked in at 9 p.m. every evening, after daylight savings ends in
fall, the task is shown as kicking in at 8 p.m. Similarly, if the
daily task gets kicked in at...

I was investigating a function to determine whether daylight saving
was being observed on a particular date (given the platform's regional
settings) and came across a suggestion at merlyn.com to test the time
zone offset on a variety of dates to see if it changes. Based on
that, I developed the following checkDST() function which, as far as I
can tell, should be sufficient.
It checks either the date passed to it or the current date with...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
