PHP and daylight saving time

[mkneze]

Hi guys,

Is it somehow possible to disable DST in date() function? I am
currently in UTC+1 timezone which has DST enabled but data i am
processing are throughout the year in UTC+1 without DST. So, how can i
disable automatic DST processing of date() function?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Not 100% sure, but isn't this function made for that?
date_default_timezone_set()

http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/functio...mezone-set.php

PHP5 and higher only.
Read the usercontributed notes for hints/links to solution in PHP4

Hope that helps.

date_default_timezone_set()

addition: feed it 'Europe/London' for offset 0.
I think. ;-)

Be sure to test before believing me. :P

I'm not actually in London but we have daylight savings time in the UK
(only its called 'BST' for British Summer Time to differentiate from
the movable feasts celebrated in other countries ;).

Try using 'GMT' or 'Zulu' or 'UTC'

London observes daylight saving.

'UTC' might be better.

What about using gmdate() and adding an hour?

Well, it's the UK after all. No matter how you adjust your time, seeing
'daylight' is more dependant on the rare absence of clouds :P

It was nice and sunny for me today. Freezing cold, sure, but clear blue
skies.
