"\n"; $strtotime_tstamp = strtotime("Monday", $tStamp); echo $strtotime_tstamp, "\n"; print "result=".date("l Y-m-d H:i:s T", $strtotime_tstamp)."\n"; print "wanted=Monday 00:00:00\n\n"; ?> output: 26237 tStamp=Thursday 1970-01-01 17:17:17 EST 306000 result=Sunday 1970-01-04 23:00:00 EST wanted=Monday 00:00:00 with the code that the timelib does: derick@kossu:/dat/dev/timelib$ ./tester-create-ts "1970-01-01 17:17:17 Monday" "" "Australia/Lord_Howe" TS: 306000 | 1970-01-05 00:00:00 LHST Australia/Lord_Howe 0Y 0M 0D / 0H 0M 0S / 0 derick@kossu:/dat/dev/timelib$ ./tester-render-ts 306000 Australia/Lord_Howe TYPE: 3 TS: 306000 | 1970-01-05 00:00:00 LHST Australia/Lord_Howe You see that the timestamp is the same, but that the date() function renders it wrongly as 1970-01-04 23:00:00 EST while it should have been 1970-01-05 00:00:00 LHST. The EST is not even part of the timezone information for Lord Howe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33402&edit=1
