#20788 [Opn->Bgs]: Improper timezone generation?

ID: 20788 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: john@php.net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Windows / Linux PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-03 07:01:39] john@php.net 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20788&edit=1
