Hello,
I need a timezone to store timestamps in that is independent of daylight
saving. From everything I've read, it seems I want either GMT or UTC.
The only problem is I can't figure out from any documentation I've read
if there is any difference (practically speaking, not scientifically and
taking into account the earth's orbit etc).
I can set my server timezone to GMT, but if I want UTC I will have to
use putenv('TZ=UTC'). Could someone please confirm if they are in fact
the same or if one is better, and if I am correct in stating that
neither is affected by daylight saving? Lastly, if I set my server to
GMT (or UTC for that matter), am I also correct in saying that in that
case gmmktime() and gmdate() are the exact same as mktime() and date()?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
