Why does PHP IntlDateFormatter return an invalid date? +1 hour

When I try to format a date from one time zone to the same time zone, I get the wrong time (different for 1 hour). My code is:

$formatter = new IntlDateFormatter( 'ru_RU', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 'Europe/Moscow' ); $date = new DateTime("2015-07-29 14:00:00", new DateTimeZone('Europe/Moscow')); echo $formatter->format($date);

The expected time is 14:00 , but 15:00 returned.

UPDATE . When I show 2013 or 2014, everything is in order! What will happen in 2015?

UPDATE2 : +1 hour added since October 26, 2014. The time when Russia goes to eternal winter time. OK. But ... how to format?

If you have the same problem, update icu (International Components for Unicode) on your OS.

I use directly 'GMT + 03: 00' instead of 'Europe / Moscow'. Apparently, the developers of the library do not keep up with the legislators.

Check the php.ini file date.timezone and make sure its value is set to

date.timezone = "Europe/Moscow"
