PHP's DateTime class has unexpected outcomes when dealing with the transitions between Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time. Properly defining, documenting and unit testing DateTime's behaviors is important for PHP's future. This document seeks agreement on what the expected behaviors should be. Please take a moment to review the RFC and post any questions or concerns here. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/datetime_and_daylight_saving_time Thanks, --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
