Bug #64155 [NEW]: Weird bug with time handling

From: espertalhao04 at hotmail dot com Operating system: any linux distro PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Weird bug with time handling Description: ------------ There is a weird bug in time handling (strtotime and date) functions. You must specify your timezone to perform operations with specified timezone! There was no section to write this, so i put it here: If there is a timezone specified, it should use it to treat this specific date. Possible solution: Verify if the timezone is valid, perform offset calculations and return the date. This way, we would be sure that the date is in the same timezone as specified. Test script: --------------- <?=date('d-m-Y h:i:s',strtotime(date('d-m-Y h:i:s',strtotime('02:07:03 Feb 04, 2013 PST'))." GMT"))."<br>"?> <?date_default_timezone_set('GMT')?> <?=date('d-m-Y h:i:s',strtotime(date('d-m-Y h:i:s',strtotime('02:07:03 Feb 04, 2013 PST'))." GMT"));?> <?=date_default_timezone_get()?> Expected result: ---------------- 04-02-2013 10:07:03 04-02-2013 10:07:03 GMT Actual result: -------------- 04-02-2013 12:07:03 04-02-2013 10:07:03 GMT -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64155&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=64155&r=mysqlcfg
