How to show dst free timezone offset?

have a timezone info field that shows the timezone offset ( e.g 'UTC+1' ). used 'getOffset' for this, but now in dst time, its returning 'UTC+2' for the same timezone.

my question is how to detect if dst is enabled or how to get the dst free offset ?

checked DateTimeZone and DateTime docu but haven't found anything.

You can only get the information whether something is currently in DST or not from a Date object; a DateTimeZone never "is" in DST or not, it merely contains the information when a date goes into DST, so it always depends on a particular Date instance. There's no dedicated method for that on the Date class, but it's a possible date formatter:

echo 'Is DST: ', $date->format('I') ? 'yes' : 'no';
