创建新事件时事件时间不匹配

Question

I have an issue with the dateTime start/end when I add an event to my calendar.

Here is the code I use:

$event = new Google_Service_Calendar_Event(array(
  'summary' => 'event title',
  'description' => 'event description',
  'start' => array(
    'dateTime' => '2017-02-05T00:00:00-08:00',
    'timeZone' => 'Europe/Paris',
  ),
  'end' => array(
    'dateTime' => '2017-02-05T00:00:00-13:00',
    'timeZone' => 'Europe/Paris',
  )
));

$event = $cal->events->insert($room_calendar_id, $event);

This code should add an event in my calendar, starting at 08:00, ending 13:00. Fact is, the event is added starting at 10:00, ending at 15:00. It add 2 hours to the dateTime.

Do you think that the error comes from the timezone ?

Answer 1

You are confusing the local time for the time zone offset.

2017-02-05T00:00:00-08:00   =>  2017-02-05T08:00:00+01:00

2017-02-05T00:00:00-13:00   =>  2017-02-05T13:00:00+01:00

Both values should have a +01:00 offset, because that is the UTC offset in effect at the time of the event in Europe/Paris.
