#19620 [Bgs]: wrong date

ID: 19620 Updated by: hholzgra@php.net Reported By: rsmeurer@terra.com.br Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: FREE BSD 4.6 PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: we really need a quickfix entry for this ... :( due to daylight saving time there is no such date as 2002-10-13 00:00:00 in brazil the second following 2002-10-12 23:59:59 is 2002-10-13 01:00:00 so you requested the timestamp for an invalid date, which is -1 and then you passed that on without checking to the date function, which took it as "the second before the unix epoch", being 1969-12-31 23:59:59 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-26 13:55:46] tal@php.net Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.
