Bug #14828 Updated: Timezone on mail timestamp early by 12 hours

ID: 14828 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: whitej@gmx.net Status: Open -Bug Type: Date/time related +Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Windows NT4 SP6a PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: reclassify Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-08 22:07:37] gsanta@appliedreasoning.com I too have stumbled unto this problem. A workaround is to add the following "Date" header to the mail() function call. "Date: ".date("D, j M Y H:i:s -0600")."\r\n" In my case, I'm at CST so -0600 is what does it for me. Change yours as necessary. Here's how I use it in my code: mail($emailToAddress, $g_welcomeMessageSubjectLine, $welcomeMessage, "From: ".$g_sendWelcomeMsgFrom."\r\n". "Date: ".date("D, j M Y H:i:s -0600")."\r\n"); The mail then arrives with the correct timestamp in the user's mailbox. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-08 09:56:43] whitej@gmx.net This is similar in configuration to Bug #12680. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-03 12:07:18] whitej@gmx.net I experienced a similar problem in php 4.06, but the time was only off by 6 hours. Now the time is off by 12 hours. Here's a sample of the mail headers...notice the "Date" line: Return-Path: <dlab-rva-system@lists.wcom.com> Received: from dgismtp03.wcomnet.com ([166.38.58.143]) by pmmsg00.wcomnet.com (Netscape Messaging Server 4.15) with ESMTP id GPDFZW00.ALE for <justin.white@wcom.com>; Thu, 3 Jan 2002 16:47:56 +0000 Return-path: jack.duruji@wcom.com Received: from CONVERSION-DAEMON by dgismtp03.wcomnet.com (PMDF V5.2-33 #42262) id <0GPD00H01FZVN5@dgismtp03.wcomnet.com> for justin.white@wcom.com; Thu, 3 Jan 2002 16:47:55 +0000 (GMT) Received: from dgismtp03.wcomnet.com by dgismtp03.wcomnet.com (PMDF V5.2-33 #42262) with SMTP id <0GPD00H01FZ8HB@dgismtp03.wcomnet.com> for justin.white@wcom.com; Thu, 03 Jan 2002 16:47:55 +0000 (GMT) Received: from smtp.wcomnet.com ([166.35.132.178]) by dgismtp03.wcomnet.com (PMDF V5.2-33 #42262) with ESMTP id <0GPD00FAVFZ5EE@dgismtp03.wcomnet.com> for justin.white@wcom.com; Thu, 03 Jan 2002 16:47:29 +0000 (GMT) Received: from dlab - 166.35.132.178 by smtp.wcomnet.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.5.1774.114.11); Thu, 03 Jan 2002 10:47:36 -0600 Date: Thu, 03 Jan 2002 10:47:36 +0600 From: jack.duruji@wcom.com Subject: D Lab RVA# 1178-02 for Project 1178 - AN-30 (Data Regression) X-Sender: <jack.duruji@wcom.com> To: justin.white@wcom.com Cc: justin.white@wcom.com Reply-to: jack.duruji@wcom.com Message-id: <001c53647160312ESERVER@smtp.wcomnet.com> X-Mailer: D Lab RVA System X-Priority: 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14828&edit=1
