#22953 [Opn->Fbk]: putenv doesn't work as documented

I'm getting +0100 and -0800 entries all across my Apache logs for a static image server, referenced from multiple sites with different putenv("TZ=zone"); initializations. Apparenty putenv does not work for a specific request only, as documented (different problem than closed bug #10970). I also believe putenv affects all threads within a process. This virually makes it impossible to use different timezones for different virtual hosts, without poisoning Apache logs with different timezones in it (which fails for a lot of analyzing software). # ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-gd --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-pgsql=/usr/local/postgresql --with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22953&edit=1
