Reason: It makes a lot of extra work if the localtime call is called with an optional timestamp parameter passed from outside Test script: --------------- localtime(is_null($iTime) ? time() : $iTime) should be shorter: localtime($iTime) where time is a timestamp or null for the current time. At the moment NULL is interpreted as 0 which is not what (at least) I expect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55292&edit=1
