#20788 [NEW]: Improper timezone generation?

From: john@php.net Operating system: Windows / Linux PHP version: 4.2.2 PHP Bug Type: Date/time related Bug description: Improper timezone generation? I'm not sure if this is a doc bug, a Windows bug or perhaps it's not an issue. Basically: echo gmdate('T'); // date() could have been used produces on Linux: GMT while on Windows: GMT Standard Time The same thing applies for other timezones: EST (linux) -> Eastern Standard Time This is an issue for a number of reasons: 1) The docs specify date('T') as producing only three-letter timezones (EST, etc). 2) This behavior may screw up things like setcookie() (where I ran into it)... -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20788&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20788&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20788&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20788&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20788&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20788&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20788&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20788&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20788&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20788&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20788&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20788&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20788&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20788&r=isapi
