I have catched strange behavior of php. If 2nd argument of function date(or strftime) is 0, this function add some hours to result. For example, in Moscow they add 3 hours (difference between GMT). Is it true ? Test script: --------------- echo date('c', time()) . "\n"; echo date('c', time() - time()) . "\n"; Expected result: ---------------- 2011-01-17T09:34:00+03:00 1970-01-01T00:00:00+03:00 Actual result: -------------- 2011-01-17T09:34:00+03:00 1970-01-01T03:00:00+03:00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53764&edit=1
