Bug #63957 [Opn->Wfx]: REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT too high

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63957&edit=1 ID: 63957 Updated by: aharvey@php.net Reported by: bugzilla77 at gmail dot com Summary: REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT too high -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Type: Bug -Package: Date/time related +Package: *Web Server problem Operating System: win32, apache module PHP Version: 5.5.0alpha2 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: microtime() and $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT'] use different mechanisms to get the time: microtime() calls gettimeofday() internally, whereas $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT'] uses whatever method the SAPI provides to get the request time (for instance, the apache2handler SAPI calls apr_time_as_msec()). In practice, there are likely to be slight variances between the two methods, since they do different things. I don't see a sensible way we could change this without removing the semantics of $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT'] actually being the server's request time (as opposed to just the startup time of PHP's request handling). Marking won't fix.
