New Comment:
THis is how it is supposed to work. CET is really CET. CEST is a
different zone. You should *always* use the Africa/Algiers type zones
(continent/location).

Description:
------------
I'm getting data with time in CET timezone.
Displaying is in local time (by configuration)
So I have to convert time from CET to Euprope/Prague (ie CET or CEST)
When I set CET in date_default_timezone_set(), I return CET or CEST
(CET + DST). When I set CEST, I get error.
Luckily one state is using CET without CEST (Algeria) so I use
date_default_timezone_set('Africa/Algiers') instead.
But I get the same behaving with WAT
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Africa_Time) and WAST is using only
one sate and I get WAT/WAST too.
For getting local time is ok to use Continent/City but CET is not CEST.
Reproduce code:
---------------
//date_default_timezone_set('CET');
// itme as YYMMDDHHIISS
sscanf($time, '%2d%2d%2d%2d%2d%2d', $year, $month, $day, $hour,
$minute, $second);
$timestamp = mktime($hour,$minute,$second,$month,$day,$year);
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Prague');
echo date('D d.m. H:i:s', $timestamp);
Expected result:
----------------
CET != CEST (!!!) so i expect the same result like
//date_default_timezone_set('Africa/Algiers');
// itme as YYMMDDHHIISS
sscanf($time, '%2d%2d%2d%2d%2d%2d', $year, $month, $day, $hour,
$minute, $second);
$timestamp = mktime($hour,$minute,$second,$month,$day,$year);
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Prague');
echo date('D d.m. H:i:s', $timestamp);
Actual result:
--------------
Wrong behaving. PHP expecting CET = CEST in CEST range.
