Hey Masi,
great ideas!
a) Dropping the seconds in the time comparison is somewhat of a good
improvement since nobody, I mean, nobody is setting the endtime to
seconds. I see no reason not to do this. So a straight +1 for the idea.
b) The UTC thing is a big issue, although I didn't fully read through
all the problems TYPO3 has with UTC conversions. I propose having a Date
class where we have a couple more functions to the two you propose:
* A function that outputs the date/time specified for a specific BE user
for the timezone and the output format he selected
* A function that transfers a date / time a BE user entered in a form
(in his format and his timezone) into a valid UTC timestamp again.
(maybe we can rather put this in the BEuser class)
Dunno if we need or if it makes sense to have a full class but in the
end we could run all date/time-related functions through there and it's
gonna be a nice and good API for the rest.
greetings,
benni.
