Manual talk:$wgLocalTZoffset

Bug in the Example

Original version,

$wgLocaltimezone = 'CET';
$wgLocalTZoffset = +60;

Fixed version,

$wgLocaltimezone = 'CET';
$wgLocalTZoffset = date("Z")/60 + 60;

It should rather be something like this? --Ans 08:56, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Your two examples only give the same result, if date('Z'), so the offset from UTC, is 0. In all other cases the both are not identical. I am not sure, what you think should be wrong; when you live one hour away from UTC, this difference is correct. However, the example in the article currently shows, how $wgLocalTZoffset can be used correctly with date('Z'). --88.130.98.250 14:09, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
