Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP. It would be even better, if you could retest with a CVS-snapshot. Thanks for your help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-14 19:53:04] darron@kewl.org The quick fix may only be valid for the UK (GMT/BST) The altzone offset may be a better indicator that GMT is not the correct local timezone elsewhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-14 19:15:36] darron@kewl.org The following: print date( "r Z T", time() ); print gmdate( "r Z T", time() ); Gives this output: Tue, 14 May 2002 22:56:09 +0100 3600 GMT Tue, 14 May 2002 21:56:09 +0000 0 GMT Standard Time Comment: Internally solaris creates an integer named daylight after localtime() is called if an alternate time zone is in use. PHP ignores this and always uses tzname[0] Quick fix: diff ext/standard/datetime.c~ ext/standard/datetime.c 256c256,259 < tname[0] = tzname[0]; --- > if( daylight ) > tname[0] = tzname[1]; > else > tname[0] = tzname[0]; After patching the PHP code produces: Wed, 15 May 2002 00:13:40 +0100 3600 BST Tue, 14 May 2002 23:13:40 +0000 0 GMT Standard Time ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17228&edit=1
