Might be some timezone-like thing but then again: variant_date_to_timestamp() does give a precise translation. I'm running apache 2 with php 5.0.0 RC 2. I tried both CGI and through apache. Reproduce code: --------------- <? $nu = date('Ymd'); echo "now: $nu\n"; $timestamp = mktime( 0, 0, 0, date('m'), date('d'), date('Y') ); // Ymd = 2004 07 19 echo "now timestamp: $timestamp\n"; echo "a.k.a. : ".$timestamp." = ".date('Ymd', $timestamp )."\n"; $variant = variant_date_from_timestamp( $timestamp ); //$variant = variant_date_from_timestamp( time() ); echo "variant: ".$variant."\n"; $var_timestamp = variant_date_to_timestamp( $variant ); echo "and back again: ".$var_timestamp." = ".date('Ymd', $var_timestamp )."\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- now: 20040719 now timestamp: 1090188000 a.k.a. : 1090188000 = 20040719 variant: 19-7-2004 0:00:00 and back again: 1090188000 = 20040719 Actual result: -------------- now: 20040719 now timestamp: 1090188000 a.k.a. : 1090188000 = 20040719 variant: 18-7-2004 22:00:00 and back again: 1090180800 = 20040718 // 2 hours gone! And even worse: The date changed! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29258&edit=1
