To prevent timezone calculation you should use UTC as timezone. This
timezone has no DST.
But be aware of possible time differences when your input is not UTC but
GMT.
Also to note: UTC is also a timezone and will be displayed in the output. It
just uses no DST, that's all.
ISO_8601 is the complete ISO representation. It's recognised by all common
DBs and is always with timezone.
To prevent output you could use the toString method and create your own
format.

Subject: [fw-general] Zend_Date and Timezones - how do I turn them off?
Hi guys,
I'm just doing a bit of work with the Dojo date and time pickers, and it's
all going wonderfully, and I decided to use the Zend_Date::ISO_8601 method
for formatting the output from MySQL, which works perfectly well, all
except
for the fact it's appending a timezone, which then goes and screws with
the
time that gets displayed in the time picker - i wouldn't have noticed this
if it wasn't for DST!
Anyway, all I want is to basically turn off the whole timezone thing - I
don't need it for this project, and it's much more "obvious" for the time
stored in the DB to be the time of the event, not a GMT representation of
it. I tried $date->setTimezone(NULL); and $date->setTimezone(''); but I
got
nothing. Of course I can chop the last 6 chars off the string and
everything
will be fine, but i'd rather not have to resort to such clunkiness if at
all
possible.
