Req #67242 [NEW]: No Timezone specified for Pakistan

From: farhan at askwhyweb dot com Operating system: ANY PHP version: 5.4.28 Package: Date/time related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:No Timezone specified for Pakistan Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/timezones --- There is no such timezone for Pakistan (an asian country). When use Asia/Pakistan the PHP throws error saying not applicable. Quite strange but it needs to be there. Test script: --------------- date_default_timezone_set('Etc/GMT+5'); echo "The time is " . date("h:i:sa"); // Output is 14 hours above the original time. // Second case date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Pakistan'); echo "The time is " . date("h:i:sa"); // Output no error but time behind 3 hours to the original time. Expected result: ---------------- Was expecting input for 'Asia/Pakistan' in date_default_timezone_set function which is accepting the region but not giving expected current time of the region. Actual result: -------------- Not accurate/ false -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67242&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=67242&r=mysqlcfg
