Getting DST information...

[ashitpro]

Hi all,

I am working on web application.
Client sends me it's time zone and UTC time.
How can I figure out whether client is under DST or not?

Have a look in the PHP manual, especially commands timezone_identi fiers_list and timezone_abbrev iations_list . That information can help you along.

Thanks for the reply...
I got one more query...
when I receive time from client...and daylight saving is currently active in it's country. I've to add/subtract specific offset...
Precisely, I'd like to know whether client is under daylight saving or not..
How can I get this information?
Above functions merely tells me that DST is applicable for particular TZs.
I want there current status...

You also get an offset (positive or negatve) in seconds from GMT. So you just add that to your calculation of your server's offset to GMT.
