Hi,

This question is just for my information, this is not bug report or bad function !

I Use the Pear Package for Date and Time Zone, and I see these datas :

/
Code:
/ Time Zone Data
//  offset is in miliseconds
//
$GLOBALS['_DATE_TIMEZONE_DATA'] = array(
    'Etc/GMT+12' => array(
        'offset' => -43200000,
        'longname' => "GMT-12:00",
        'shortname' => 'GMT-12:00',
        'hasdst' => false ),
    'Etc/GMT+11' => array(
        'offset' => -39600000,
        'longname' => "GMT-11:00",
        'shortname' => 'GMT-11:00',
        'hasdst' => false ),


What is the rationale of + and - in the same definition ?

Etc/GMT+12 -->longname--> GMT-12

I do not understand.

Explanation ?

Cordially.

PS : Sorry for my bad english.
