It would be nice to have in, but I don't think it's something that people are crying out for - judging by the fact this issue has only been raised previously by one person (myself).
I'd be more interested to find a framework agnostic library to deal with advanced time and date issues - something like the JodaTime lib for Java. In a previous life I was quite happy using JodaTime with WebWork - it was never perceived to be a deficiency of the framework that it didn't have this functionality built-in, and I think the same would be true for Symfony. I've also just found the PEAR Date module (http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.datetime.date.examples.php ) which has a handy convertTZ function :) On 4 Mar 2009, at 19:22, heathd wrote: > > Hi Lee, > >> There's actually built in PHP functionality for this >> :http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/class.datetimezone.php > > thanks for the link. > > The question for me is not so much how to actually perform the > timezone transformations, but rather how to tie in with the existing > symfony framework.
