Talk at CodeWorks 2009 (Dallas) (English - US)
PHP 5.2 and PHP 5.3 introduce new powerful date and time handling functionality. This new functionality allows you to deal with many issues that arise when youare developing a web applications. This session covers all of the new functionality that is now available. It presents ways on how to deal with timezones:converting between timezones, which timezones to use, updating the database that contains information about timezones and daylight savings time. Then I will proceed tohow to deal with parsing strings containing date/time information, modifying parsed information and formatting dates and times.I will also present time diffingand interval functionality. As last part of the session I will introduce some tips and tricks that make dealing with dates and times even easier.

I liked this talk, very fascinating information about date/timestamping issues.
Especially liked the reason for the time zone identifier US/Chicago as opposed to US/Central (as historically there are several locations that had time zone information randomly change).
I would suggest anyone to attend this talk in the future as there are a lot more pitfalls to dates than you are thinking of.
