Hi All,
I am trying for something in Daylight saving time. I have a eastern time stamp and the timezone (possible timezones CST,EST,PST,MST ,HST). Basically these are two input which is required for my daylight saving time calculation.
If the time zone is CST i have to convert the given eastern timestamp to central timestamp.
like -
if ($timezone == "CST")
-
$central = $eastern - 3600;
-
Now i have to find whether the given central timestamp ($central) is coming under the Daylight saving time or not. Can some one help me how to find daylight saving is true or false.?
Thanks in advance,
Thanks,
Magesh

See date() manual.
What you're looking for is the Capital "I" which return 1 if daylight saving (summer march-november) and 0 if not (winter november-march).
So what you could do is some kind of calculation on your timezone, such as: -
-
$cental = $eastern - 3600 + (date('I') * 3600);
-
-
if date('I') returns zero, then 0*3600=0 basically adding nothing. If it is daylight savings time, then you add one more hour. IF $eastern is not already in daylight savings time.
Eastern standard time (EST) always equals central daylight time (CDT), in the math above:
$CDT = $EST - 3600 + 3600;
$CDT = $EST + 0;
Hope that helped,
Dan

Hi,
I would like to know if Daylight Saving time is ON, and then calculate
the time (i.e. how many hours difference due to the Daylight Saving
time).
I need it because I am getting the time from a GPS system, and I want
to set the clock correctly.
I am working on a Win2K system (OBviously it should work on XP etc.)

Several threads have discussed the accuracy of time calculated using

for the US and EU systems. However there are other variations in the

In the US, I live in the CST time zone. However this is called CDT when

Colleagues,
I wanted to share a function to find if a date is in Daylight Saving
Time or not. I was able to make this function faster than reading MSDN
to find functions that .NET provides. I didnt know if .NET was equipped
with the new changes President Bush made with respect to Daylight
Saving Time increase starting 2007. I could have found out by trying
..NET functions, only if I wasnt a lousy syntax scavanger.

Hi everyone,
I have 3 different time zones that I'm working with. Basically
converting from UTC to those 3 time zones.
Eastern Daylight Time (GMT -04:00, New York)
Central Daylight Time (GMT -05:00, Chicago)
Pacific Daylight Time (GMT -07:00, San Francisco)
Using C# I know how to detect if Daylight saving time is applied or not

Hello folks,
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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
