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,
