does php's date_default_timezone_set adjust to daylight saving?

Question

Does php\'s date_default_timezone_set adjust to daylight saving?

I have this code, and wonder if it will always result in the correct Stockholm time?

Answer 1

As long as your timezone is listed in the following link, timestamp should be relative to the correct timezone.

Answer 2

Yes this should always result in the right time.

Answer 3

PHP doesn't handle DST automatically. You have to check

if (date('I', time()) == 1) ... the time is in DST mode ("0" = not)

Then you should adust time accordingly. (Note: 'I' in capital. I have just checked it and it works.)
