Do you realize that PHP has this information already embedded? Since PHP 
5.1 we bundle a compressed/archive version of the Olson database and use 
it internally for all date/timezone operations. It's quite trivial to 
generate this data:

<?php
$a = new DateTimeZone( "America/New_York" );
$ts = $a->getTransitions(); 
var_dump( $ts );
?>


with kind regards,
