I'm loosing 2 hours on every call to it and I'm not sure why. The issue seems to be with the "at" text in the format string but I am unsure why the text "at" would make the timestamp lose exactly 2 hours. Reproduce code: --------------- <? $_REQUEST['event_time']=strftime('%A, %B %e %Y at %r',strtotime($_REQUEST['event_time'])); ?> <form action='<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>'> <input size='50' type='text' name='event_time' value='<?=$_REQUEST['event_time']?>' <input type="submit"> </form> Expected result: ---------------- The output should be the formated representation from what was inputted. If sumbit is clicked again without changed the text field the value should not change since strtotime should generate a proper and valid timestamp which strftime formats again. Actual result: -------------- Relative to today I type: friday at 7pm click submit and the value of the text box is now: Friday, June 24 2005 at 05:00:00 PM I don't type or change anything. Simply click submit again: Friday, June 24 2005 at 03:00:00 PM Every time I click submit the timestamp looses 2 hours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33456&edit=1
