Tue, 6 May 2003 11:59:58 -0600 1 And my XP shows: Current Time Zone: Mountain Daylight Time <shrug> <G> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-06 12:28:02] michael dot mauch at gmx dot de This example shows exactly how braindead these abbreviations are: a) Nobody knows what they mean. b) According to <http://www.worldtimezone.com/wtz-names/wtz-bst.html>, "BST" means also "Brazil Standard Time" and "Bering Summer Time". c) Everybody invents their own zone names - e.g. <http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore98/html/_crt__tzset.asp> features a "GST" for "German standard time", which definitely doesn't exist here in Germany. John, can you please post the result of: echo date("r"),"\n"; echo date("I"),"\n"; // uppercase "i" And can you please make sure that your Windows machine knows in which timezone it is? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-06 06:09:39] mgf@php.net Actually (just to be nit-pickily accurate), British *Summer* Time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
