Bug #17228: timezone incorrect in date

From: darron@kewl.org Operating system: solaris 2.7 PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Date/time related Bug description: timezone incorrect in date The following: print date( "r Z T", time() ); print gmdate( "r Z T", time() ); Gives this output: Tue, 14 May 2002 22:56:09 +0100 3600 GMT Tue, 14 May 2002 21:56:09 +0000 0 GMT Standard Time Comment: Internally solaris creates an integer named daylight after localtime() is called if an alternate time zone is in use. PHP ignores this and always uses tzname[0] Quick fix: diff ext/standard/datetime.c~ ext/standard/datetime.c 256c256,259 < tname[0] = tzname[0]; --- > if( daylight ) > tname[0] = tzname[1]; > else > tname[0] = tzname[0]; After patching the PHP code produces: Wed, 15 May 2002 00:13:40 +0100 3600 BST Tue, 14 May 2002 23:13:40 +0000 0 GMT Standard Time -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17228&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17228&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17228&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17228&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17228&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17228&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17228&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17228&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17228&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17228&r=globals
