Will it consider DST?

I agree it will be useful

Can you not get the value with get_timezone_offset

@laoneo no, I did not support DST, it seemed to me that it can cause unnecessary load, and not always it is necessary

there is no DST in my country. it was enough for me to just know the offset, and for convenience only, no more

it will be convenient

I looked at what this test did not pass, and there it looks like that just php 5.6 bot was unable to deploy the repository and after an hour of timeout returned an error, although the solution works even on php 5.3

sorry, but it seems there is a bot decides whether to pass this decision in life

looks odd, I can not restart the build.

did I break the Joomla...

no AppVeyor :-) Just move on, we need two people testing this and then we look further

@AlekVolsk can you give Test Instructions on first Comment so Tester can be sure what to look on?

what kind of test instructions do you want? you see the code-there are less than a dozen lines, you are not able to understand what it does and how it works?

Repository unknown. Can't get a .diff
Tested by copy paste the entire raw modified file.
I get for Paris +2:00 which is correct TODAY as we are in DST = UTC + 2
But on October 28th, we will be UTC + 1
Will that be reflected in the display?
If not, quite useless for Europe.

It uses the actual date so it always shows the offset of the current DST.

there is no more desire anything to offer, one of snobbery
