Description:
------------
Timezones in php do not reflect the changes in russian timezones occured on 26th of October. For example, Moscow is now UTC+3 while php still thinks it's UTC+4, Yekaterinburg should be UTC+5 instead of UTC+6 and so on.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$formatter = IntlDateFormatter::create(NULL, NULL, NULL, "Europe/Moscow");
print_r($formatter->getTimeZone());
$formatter = IntlDateFormatter::create(NULL, NULL, NULL, "Etc/GMT-3");
print_r($formatter->getTimeZone());
?>

Expected result:
----------------
IntlTimeZone Object
(
    [valid] => 1
    [id] => Europe/Moscow
    [rawOffset] => 10800000
    [currentOffset] => 10800000
)
IntlTimeZone Object
(
    [valid] => 1
    [id] => Etc/GMT-3
    [rawOffset] => 10800000
    [currentOffset] => 10800000
)


Actual result:
--------------
IntlTimeZone Object
(
    [valid] => 1
    [id] => Europe/Moscow
    [rawOffset] => 14400000
    [currentOffset] => 14400000
)
IntlTimeZone Object
(
    [valid] => 1
    [id] => Etc/GMT-3
    [rawOffset] => 10800000
    [currentOffset] => 10800000
)

Please try the latest http://pecl.php.net/package/timezonedb (just load the dll).

Thanks

Ah, nevermind ... that's not datetime but intl.

I've rebuilt the data DLLs with the updated TZ http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/ostc/68434/icu_tz_update/2014j/ . Please try one, whether it fixes the TZ issue and doesn't break anything else. This is probably the only solution as long as we don't upgrade ICU.

Thanks.

Yes, new icu dll helped and result is as expected.

Thanks for the update. The data at least should be updated in the next release.
