#44129 [Fbk->Opn]: Halt-hour timezones returning UTC

ID: 44129 User updated by: protomank at gmail dot com Reported By: protomank at gmail dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment: Hum, forgot to mention I was running it under Apache 2.2, sorry :( But it doesn't affect the bug anyway. The bug doesn't happen when you pass the timezone to PHP, but when you change the timezone in Windows and then execute simply: php echo date("T"); This returns UTC instead of IST. Seems like PHP is not able to correctly reading the Timezone from Windows environment, so it does not know what is the system timezone. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-15 13:29:05] jani@php.net # php -n -d date.timezone=Asia/Calcutta -r 'echo date("T");' IST So you're just using wrong timezone name..? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-15 13:12:09] protomank at gmail dot com Description: ------------ If I set the windows timzeone to a zone with half-hour, like 5:30 (clacuttah) date('T') returns UTC. This way I can't convert timestamps to the correct time of the machine. Reproduce code: --------------- date('T') Expected result: ---------------- Asia/Calcuttah Actual result: -------------- UTC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44129&edit=1
