This isn't Symfony specific, but thought one of ya PHP gurus might be
able to help.
I have some time zone strings (ex: "America/New_York" or
"Europe/London"), and want to find the GMT offset of that timezone,
*without DST adjustments*. In other words, the offset (like GMT -5) that
I print should be consistent throughout the year.
The first part I've figured out; how to easily remove DST adjustments I
haven't. For example, for Europe/London, I get GMT+1 right now, where I
want GMT+0, as it will be during London's winter.
$dateTimeZone = new DateTimeZone($timeZoneString);
$dateTime = new DateTime("now", $dateTimeZone);
$offset = $dateTimeZone->getOffset($dateTime);
if ($offset != 0) {
$offset = $offset / (60 * 60); //converts to hours
}
Switching the timezone setting with date_default_timezone_set() or
putenv('TZ=') can have side-effects, so something that doesn't involve
tricking the thread into thinking it's in a different timezone would be
best.
