<?php

$date = date_create('America/New_York');
$date-> format('d:m:y:h:i:s');
$timestamp = (int) $date;
$DL = (date('I', $timestamp)); // Checking if the current date is in Daylight saving
$date1 = new DateTime('2017-11-05 02:00:00');
$date_end = new DateTime('2017-03-12 02:00:00');
$date_end_e = $date->diff($date_end);
$date2 = $date1->diff($date);
if ($DL == 0)
{
echo "Its not daylight saving. Daylight saving starts in: ".$date_end_e->d.' days, ', $date_end_e->h.' hours, '.$date_end_e->i.' minutes';
}
