YOu need to set the date.timezone setting: http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/datetime.configuration.php#ini.date.timezone Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-11 12:36:00] lieven_vaneeckhaute at symantec dot com Description: ------------ On Windows I'm running in timezone Beijing,... which is +08:00. If echo date("c") or date("r") it displays as Thu, 11 Jun 2009 12:27:54 +0000 rather than 20:27:54 +0800. To us for reporting reasons it is very useful to know what time it was on the local system. We run php as CLI. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo date("r"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Display 20:27:54 +0800 rather than 12:27:54 +0000. Actual result: -------------- Thu, 11 Jun 2009 12:27:54 +0000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48530&edit=1
