#25825 [Bgs->Fbk]: Windows PHP always returns UTC time and BST as the timezone

ID: 25825 Updated by: wez@php.net Reported By: pennington at rhodes dot edu -Status: Bogus +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.3.3 New Comment: Do you get the same problem running CGI? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-13 09:52:27] pennington at rhodes dot edu wez@php.net wanted to know "Which SAPI are you running? CGI? ISAPI? Apache? Something else?" I'm running ISAPI. I fail to see how this bug is identical to bug #23467, because I am getting an incorrect offset of time from GMT in addition to the incorrect time zone appearing. Unless, of course, time in general is screwed up for PHP on Win32... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-12 19:46:15] sniper@php.net This is not different to bug #23467 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-10 14:30:11] pennington at rhodes dot edu Description: ------------ The Windows version of PHP 4.3.3 does not return the system's time when the date() command is used. It only returns UTC time and "BST" as the timezone, even when the Windows server is set to use local time and reports as such in the Date/Time control panel. Please note that this is different than bug #23467 because the time being reported is wrong (UTC rather than the local CST), in addition to the wrong "BST" timezone. Reproduce code: --------------- echo date("D M j G:i:s T Y"); Expected result: ---------------- Fri Oct 10 13:28:58 CST 2003 Actual result: -------------- Fri Oct 10 18:28:58 BST 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25825&edit=1
