ID: 15815 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: geoffrey@poulet.org -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: FreeBSD 4.2 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Is this still an issue with PHP 4.2.1? Derick Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-04 04:30:50] geoffrey@poulet.org Ok some more information. php version have been upgraded to 4.1 (Plesk 2.5.1). The problem is still there .... i think less often. The script ... just use date() and echo the comlplete date. HIT F5. OR SHELLSCRIPT: serverdate=date +%Y%m%d%H%M /usr/local/bin/lynx -dump http://www.YOURSERVER.com/shiftbug.php?serverdate=$serverda te (run it in the cron) SHITBUG.PHP <?php sleep (16); $time = time(); $datephp = date("Y-m-d H:i:s",$time); mail ("bug@ebid.be","$datephp-$serverdate","From: mail@azazaz.com\n". "Content-type: text/plain\n" ); ?> Or something like that. It takes time in shell (which is correct) and GET it to the php page, which send the current date in shell and in php by email ... Good chance ... I forgot to find a solution ... i'll move to a new server soon :( Geoffrey. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-03 19:12:34] eru@php.net Could you please provide a minimal script, that reproduces your problem? Another issue might be the slightly outdated version of PHP, could you retry it with a current 4.2.1? Please switch to "Open" again, when you're giving feedback. Thanks for your help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-01 12:27:02] geoffrey@poulet.org GMT, the server is in england. The date() return good time except for some minutes per day. There is no logic, sometimes at 08:45:16, sometimes at 14:13:08 ... when the date() bug, 8 hours is added. This is crazy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-01 12:10:12] sander@php.net What is your timezone offset? date() doesn't use GMT if you're in another timezone. Maybe your shell does use GMT (mine doesn't, but I'm on linux...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-01 12:05:56] geoffrey@poulet.org Shifting time. Sometimes the function date() return a bad time. Below some examples: server time= from date in shell response time = from function date() in php.
