Summary: DateTime modify wrong result with DST change

Still present with:
PHP 5.4.7 (cli) (built: Sep 12 2012 23:48:31)
Copyright (c) 1997-2012 The PHP Group
My former test script still shows the error:
<?php
$dt = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin'));
// try to set timestamp of 2010-10-31T02:00:00+0200
$dt->setTimestamp(1288483200);
echo "Expected: 1288483200\n";
// but returns timestamp of 2010-10-31T02:00:00+0100
echo "Actual : ".$dt->getTimestamp()."\n"; // outputs 1288486800
?>
Any Ideas when this issue is going to be fixed? It's a serious issue that it
returns another timestamp than what was set!

This is still broken in 5.3.21, according to danielc's test.

wise."

DateTime::diff get's it wrong in PHP 5.4. Tested on Apache (with PHP 5.4 VC9) /
Windows 7 x64. Code of horror:
$d1 = new DateTime("2011-10-30 01:05:00", new DateTimeZone("Europe/Stockholm"));
$d2 = new DateTime("2011-10-30 03:05:00", new DateTimeZone("Europe/Stockholm"));
$di = $d1->diff($d2);
echo $di->h;
This produces '2' whereas it should have said '3' because in this timezone and
interval (more precisly 03:00:00), all Swedes turned their clock back 1 hour.
Still, the internal logic of PHP 5.4 knows about the different offsets:
echo $d1->getOffset() / (60 * 60);
Prints '2'.
echo $d2->getOffset() / (60 * 60);
Prints '1'.
A direct calculation with UNIX timestamps produces the correct result:
$hoursofdiff = ($d2->getTimeStamp() - $d1->getTimeStamp()) / 60 / 60;
echo "Calculated difference in hours: $hoursofdiff";
Prints '3'.
