Hi ! I've had a specific need to find out if a day is the day when a country switch to winter/spring times , aka loosing one hour or getting one hour compared to the real time .. This works in europe , but i don't know about other regulations or countries , so be warned. The switch to "spring time" is always on the last saturday of march. The switch to winter time is always last saturday of october. Hope it helps !
use it like this :
<?php
if(checkSwitchToWinterTime('20081025'){
echo 'today we switch to winter time' ;
}
function checkSwitchToWinterTime($day){
//day is yyyymmdd
$y =substr($day,0,4);
$m = substr($day,4,2);
$d = substr($day,6,2);
// if it is a saturday of october, check if it's the last one
if(date("D-m", mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, $d, $y))=="Sat-10"){ ;
if((date("m", mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, $d, $y))) != (date("m", mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, $d+7, $y)))) {
return true;
}
return;
}
return;
}
function checkSwitchToSpringTime($day){
//day is yyyymmdd
$y =substr($day,0,4);
$m = substr($day,4,2);
$d = substr($day,6,2);
// if it is a saturday of march, check if it's the last one
if(date("D-m", mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, $d, $y))=="Sat-03"){ ;
if((date("m", mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, $d, $y))) != (date("m", mktime(0, 0, 0, $m, $d+7, $y)))) {
return true;
}
return;
}
return;
}
?>
