#43548 [Opn->Bgs]: date() returns incorrect time by +1 hour

ID: 43548 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: andrew at confirmalert dot com dot au -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Win 2003 Server SP2 PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment: Exactly, and that is why you need to set it: http://no2.php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php#ini.date.timezone (Set it to: Africa/Casablanca) PHP will also warn you about this if you have E_STRICT errors turned on. This is not a bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-12-10 10:05:33] andrew at confirmalert dot com dot au Answer 1. ========= The output for PHP 5.2.5 is: --------- C:\php-5.2.5>php test2.php Europe/London --------- Answer 2. ========= The output for php 5.2.5 of 2007-09-24 @ 11:00 is accurate for Europe/London. The output for php 5.2.5 is inaccurate for Morroco/Casablanca which is the timezone that the server has been set to i.e. London was observing daylight savings time on the above date. Casablanca was not (2007-09-24 @ 10:00). See the following link for details ... http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=9&day=24&year=2007&hour=10&min=0&sec=0&p1=0 It appears that php 5.2.5 does not accurately pickup the timezone set by the Windows operating system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-12-10 08:16:05] derick@php.net Please answer my questions: 1. What is the output of: <?php echo date_default_timezone_get(), "\n"; ?> 2. What is wrong with the PHP 5.2.5 output? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-12-09 23:01:36] andrew at confirmalert dot com dot au Hi Derick. PHP versions up to 5.0.3 were producing a result of '2007-09-24 @ 10:00'. PHP 5.2.5 produces '2007-09-24 @ 11:00' which +1 hour difference. This breaks our online diary system. Cheers.

I can reproduce this bug. The previous ticket was closed prematurely and with an incorrect status. So there is no doubt or miscommunication I have re-run the test on the same machine using the two versions of PHP. The results are the still the same as originally reported in bug '42755 date() returns incorrect time by +1 hour'. Reproduce code: --------------- ====== code - test1.php ====== <?php echo date("Y-m-d @ g:i", 1190671200); ?> Expected result: ---------------- ====== result using php 5.0.3 ====== C:\PHP>php test1.php 2007-09-24 @ 10:00 C:\PHP>php --version PHP 5.0.3 (cli) (built: Dec 15 2004 08:07:57) Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.0.3, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies Actual result: -------------- ====== result using php 5.2.5 ====== C:\php-5.2.5>php test1.php 2007-09-24 @ 11:00 C:\php-5.2.5>php --version PHP 5.2.5 (cli) (built: Nov 8 2007 23:18:51) Copyright (c) 1997-2007 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43548&edit=1
