Bug #77582 [NEW]: strftime no longer prints correct timezone

From: jflambert at newtrax dot com Operating system: Ubuntu 18.04 PHP version: 7.3.2 Package: Date/time related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:strftime no longer prints correct timezone Description: ------------ The following test script used to work just fine in PHP 7.3.1. Only after the upgrade to php 7.3.2 did I start getting this issue. Possibly other date functions are affected. But my unit tests stop immediately on failure. Also I haven't changed anything to my environment in months/years. It very much seems to me like a new 7.3.2 issue, and I couldn't see anything in the 7.3.2 log about backwards incompatible changes. php --version PHP 7.3.2-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 (cli) (built: Feb 7 2019 18:01:56) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.3.2, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.3.2-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies with Xdebug v2.7.0rc1, Copyright (c) 2002-2019, by Derick Rethans Test script: --------------- php -a Interactive mode enabled php > var_dump(ini_get('date.timezone')); php shell code:1: string(16) "America/New_York" php > echo strftime('%F %T %z'); 2019-02-07 22:24:27 +0000 php > echo strftime('%Z'); GMT Expected result: ---------------- php > echo strftime('%F<br />%T %Z'); 2019-02-07<br />17:04:54 EST Actual result: -------------- Always seems to be GMT -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77582&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77582&r=mysqlcfg
