Time zone discrepancy - America/New_York = CDT?

--0015174c3c1c4f7a5904774b54b5
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I'm using PHP 5.2.6; I just updated timezones with PECL timezonedb to make
sure that wasn't the problem.

These are the results that I'm getting, which I cannot figure out:

date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York");
echo date("e"); //output "America/New_York"
echo date("T"); //output "CST"

date_default_timezone_set("EST");
echo date("e"); //output "EST"
echo date("T"); //output "CDT"

Any ideas?

Thanks,

- Nathan

Sorry there was a typo in that output. This is what I'm getting:

date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York");
echo date("e"); //output "America/New_York"
echo date("T"); //output "CST"

date_default_timezone_set("EST");
echo date("e"); //output "EST"
echo date("T"); //output "EST"

Re: Re: Time zone discrepancy - America/New_York = CDT?

The output I get (after adding newlines to the output) is:
America/New_York
EST
EST
EST

PHP 5.2.10. I suspect this comes from the operating system. Maybe update
your tzdata package if you're on a Linux system.

Cheers,

Mattias
