PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: date_timezone_set function feature request
Description:
------------
Dear Derick and Date Developers,
First of all, thank you adding timezone and dst support to PHP. I'm so
glad that I don't have to write this class myself and deal with maintaining
the backend.
I would like to request automatic dst handling for the DateTime object.
Currently, there is no automatic way to apply a timezone dst offset to the
DateTime object. I'm in the process of writing code that iterates through
the timezone transitions array, similar to the sample code from your 2007
talk.
I would love to refactor my code to use a call like this:
void date_timezone_set(
DateTime $object,
DateTimeZone $timezone,
[, int $apply_dst_offset]
)
Similarly, the date_create function could also take the same optional
argument.
Please let me know if this realistic.
Thank you for your time,
Dan
