Does PHP timezone observe Daylight Saving?

Question

If I set my Php timezone,should I expect Daylight Saving or not?If I don't want it to,how will I set that?

Answer 1

How can I detect day light savings automatically in PHP?

echo date('I', time());

The I (capital i) is a 1/0 denoting whether or not daylight saving is currently in effect.

hope it helps.

However if you need to know if a specific timezone WILL observe Daylight savings, someone has made a function here: How to tell if a timezone observes daylight saving at any time of the year?
