/* PHP code snippet for DST implementation */
// Set DST start date to March 20th, 2024
$dst_start_date = '2024-03-20';

// Set DST end date to September 20th, 2024
$dst_end_date = '2024-09-20';

// Set timezone offset to -1 hour
$timezone_offset = -1;

// Set time zone string
$timezone_string = 'America/New_York';

// Calculate DST duration
$dst_duration = ($dst_end_date - $dst_start_date) / 86400;

// Print DST duration to console
echo 'DST duration: ' . $dst_duration . ' seconds';
