#39248 [NEW]: strftime("%z") inconsistant in non-GMT zones.

From: Lhunath at Pandora dot Be Operating system: Gentoo Linux 2.6.18 PHP version: 5.1.6 PHP Bug Type: Date/time related Bug description: strftime("%z") inconsistant in non-GMT zones. Description: ------------ The time zone used to generate formatted time from a timestamp changes depending on the timestamp itself, unless if the timezone is set to GMT. Reproduce code: --------------- date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Brussels"); $time=1162072800; print(strftime("%c %z", $time))."\n"; $time+=86400; print(strftime("%c %z", $time))."\n"; Expected result: ---------------- The two lines should reflect a time with 24 hours difference. Both lines should display the time as defined by the selected timezone (Which in the example code is 'Europe/Brussels', which is +0100). Actual result: -------------- The two lines reflect a time with 24 hours difference, but they are formatted in different time zones. The first is obviously not in the correct timezone ('Europe/Brussels'), even though the timezone was set correctly.
