这个问题启发了我，我写了一个替代函数将时间戳转换为所需的时区。
因此，CORRECT程序步骤记录，显示(转换)时间：
1) record timestamp with time()
2) If you need to get a different timezone, use:
2.1) Class based:
2.1.1) DateTime class + setTimezone
or
2.1.2) date_default_timezone_set() and then date()
2.1.1) is better and more flexible than 2.1.2)
Function:
function getLTime_class($ts, $uTZ, $format_str="Y.m.d H:i", $sTZ="America/Toronto"){
// $ts - timestamp recorded with time(); if have date => convert to timestamp: strtotime($date_input); //for ex strtotime('2012-02-17 12:00:00'); => 1345219200 - same value for summer and winter (for toronto timezone);
// $uTZ - TZ string (ex: 'America/Toronto'); convert timestamp to this TimeZone
// $sTZ - TZ string (ex: 'America/Toronto'); convert timestamp from this TimeZone
$TimeZone_server=new DateTimeZone($sTZ);
$date_obj=new DateTime("@$ts", $TimeZone_server);
$TimeZone_local=new DateTimeZone($uTZ);
$date_obj->setTimeZone($TimeZone_local);
return $date_obj->format($format_str);
}
Usage:
$date_input=$_POST['date_input']; //read from POST
$ts=strtotime($date_input); //for ex strtotime('2012-02-17 12:00:00'); => 1345219200 - same value for summer and winter (for toronto timezone);
$userTZ='America/Toronto'; //read from user params
$result=getLTime_class($ts, $userTZ, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');
2.2) Non-Class based:
Function:
//this function replaces the function with DateTime class. It's faster. $uTZoffset is integer.
function getLTime_nonclass($ts, $uTZoffset, $format_str="Y.m.d H:i"){
// $ts - timestamp recorded with time(); if have date => convert to timestamp: strtotime($date_input); //for ex strtotime('2012-02-17 12:00:00'); => 1345219200 - same value for summer and winter (for toronto timezone);
// $uTZoffset - TZ offset (integer) $uTZoffset must consider DTS (for ex: in summer $uTZoffset=-4; in winter $uTZoffset=-5)
$ts_offset=date('Z',$ts);
if ($uTZoffset) $add_offset=$ts_offset-date('Z'); //when not UTC
else $add_offset=0; //when UTC
return date($format_str,$ts-$ts_offset+$uTZoffset*3600+$add_offset);
}
Usage:
$date_input=$_POST['date_input']; //read from POST
$ts=strtotime($date_input); //for ex strtotime('2012-02-17 12:00:00'); => 1345219200 - same value for summer and winter (for toronto timezone);
$uTZoffset=-4; //read from user params. $uTZoffset - TZ offset (integer) $uTZoffset must consider DTS (for ex: in summer $uTZoffset=-4; in winter $uTZoffset=-5)
$result=getLTime_nonclass($ts, $uTZoffset, 'Y-m-d H:i:s');
结果：
$ date_input = 2012-08-17 12:00:00
Server date: summer (2013-08-26)
getLTime_class => $userTZ='America/Toronto' => 2012-08-17 12:00:00
getLTime_nonclass => $uTZoffset=-4 => 2012-08-17 12:00:00
getLTime_class => $userTZ='UTC' => 2012-08-17 16:00:00
getLTime_nonclass => $uTZoffset=0 => 2012-08-17 16:00:00
Server date: winter (2013-02-26)
getLTime_class => $userTZ='America/Toronto' => 2012-08-17 12:00:00
getLTime_nonclass => $uTZoffset=-5 => 2012-08-17 12:00:00
getLTime_class => $userTZ='UTC' => 2012-08-17 16:00:00
getLTime_nonclass => $uTZoffset=0 => 2012-08-17 16:00:00
$ date_input = 2012-02-17 12:00:00
Server date: summer (2013-08-26)
getLTime_class => $userTZ='America/Toronto' => 2012-02-17 12:00:00
getLTime_nonclass => $uTZoffset=-4 => 2012-02-17 12:00:00
getLTime_class => $userTZ='UTC' => 2012-02-17 17:00:00
getLTime_nonclass => $uTZoffset=0 => 2012-02-17 17:00:00
Server date: winter (2013-02-26)
getLTime_class => $userTZ='America/Toronto' => 2012-02-17 12:00:00
getLTime_nonclass => $uTZoffset=-5 => 2012-02-17 12:00:00
getLTime_class => $userTZ='UTC' => 2012-02-17 17:00:00
getLTime_nonclass => $uTZoffset=0 => 2012-02-17 17:00:00
我决定使用getLTime_nonclass希望比使用类更快地进行转换。我要问的是确认getLTime_nonclass是getLTime_class的有效替代品。请随时发表您的意见。 谢谢
