#43813 [Opn->Bgs]: Argentinian summer time off?

ID: 43813 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: john at jcoppens dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment: Yes we do, you have to install the updated timezonedb pecl extension: "pecl install timezonedb" if you have a working PHP build environment.

The system time is set to local, of course. John ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-11 05:13:57] john at jcoppens dot com Description: ------------ When printing (using strftime) the local time, this is one hour off, as if the new summer time is not taken into account: It is now 03:02, and the time reported is 02:02. This is happening only in PHP. The system time is set to GMT, and the 'date' command reports correctly. TCL is also reporting the date correctly and an offset of -0200. PHP reports -0300. I wonder if PHP is administering the timezones separately from the operating system (I already updated the system locale to the new savings time). I tried setlocale("LC_TIME", "es_AR") and "ar_AR" (which is probably incorrect) What do I have to do to correct this? Thanks John Reproduce code: --------------- Just print the date, using strftime, in the argentinian time zone. Expected result: ---------------- Time should, at this moment, be GMT-2, not GMT-3 (which is normal in winter) Actual result: -------------- GMT-3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43813&edit=1
