Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
This is expected. Without converting to an integer with strtotime(),
the DateTime object remembers which timezone it was created with. In
this case the timezone it knows is "GMT-0500". If you use date(), this
information is not available and it will use the default timezone. The
following example shows this a bit better:
derick@kossu:/tmp$ cat bug46641.php
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Oslo');
$timestr = "2008-11-19 10:51:35.199665-05";
$outformat = "M j Y H:i:s T (e,I,O,P,T,Z)";
$obj = new DateTime($timestr);
print date($outformat, strtotime($timestr)) . "\n";
print $obj->format($outformat) . "\n";
?>
derick@kossu:/tmp$ php bug46641.php
Nov 19 2008 16:51:35 CET (Europe/Oslo,0,+0100,+01:00,CET,3600)
Nov 19 2008 10:51:35 GMT-0500 (-05:00,0,-0500,-05:00,GMT-0500,-18000)

Description:
------------
When using some of the timezone output format characters, notably "e"
and "T", produce different results on a DateTime built from a string
time and calling date() on the results of strtotime().
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$timestr = "2008-11-19 10:51:35.199665-05";
$outformat = "M j Y H:i:s T (e,I,O,P,T,Z)";
$obj = new DateTime($timestr);
print date($outformat, strtotime($timestr)) . "\n";
print $obj->format($outformat) . "\n";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Nov 19 2008 10:51:35 EST (America/New_York,0,-0500,-05:00,EST,-18000)
Nov 19 2008 10:51:35 EST (America/New_York,0,-0500,-05:00,EST,-18000)
Actual result:
--------------
Nov 19 2008 10:51:35 EST (America/New_York,0,-0500,-05:00,EST,-18000)
Nov 19 2008 10:51:35 GMT-0500 (-05:00,0,-0500,-05:00,GMT-0500,-18000)
