Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-19 19:07:22] msopacua@idg.nl Rasmus, Ilia. Please look at your results: The timezone is the same, as there was no DST jump in that weekend for you. http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dstevents.html Please try for one week later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-19 17:25:06] ilia@prohost.org Works fine for me as well, with PHP 4.3.0-dev <1 hour old Thu, 4 Apr 2002 09:28:00 -0500 Sat, 30 Mar 2002 00:00:00 -0500 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-19 17:22:12] rasmus@php.net Works for me. I get: Thu, 4 Apr 2002 09:28:00 -0800 Sat, 30 Mar 2002 00:00:00 -0800 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-19 17:18:54] sniper@php.net Oops..the original script by sveinp@basefarm.no works now..but the example by msopacua@idg.nl does not.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-19 16:36:44] sniper@php.net So it was fixed by some change.
