#34675 [NEW]: Date() is habitually 8 hours exactly behind current system time (Win XP)

From: ryan_huff at knl dot cc Operating system: Windows XP HOME PHP version: 5.1.0RC1 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: Date() is habitually 8 hours exactly behind current system time (Win XP) Description: ------------ On Windows XP Home which is the only system I have tried this issue on, using the date(); function to return system time produces a result that is always 8 hours exactly behind the current system time. I have verified that the following is true; 1: Y2K Compliance is turned " On " in php.ini 2: The systems time is correct and in the correct time zone 3: The system is using daylight savings time I have repeated this error consistantly using several variations of format characters. The ability to return the correct date however, seems unaffected. This issue does not occur on my other Windows XP Home system, using PHP 5.4.3 & the same PHP.ini config and the same script. Reproduce code: --------------- variation 1.) date("H:i:s"); variation 2.) date("h:i:s"); variation 3.) date("h:i"); variation 4.) date("g:i"); Expected result: ---------------- I expect to see a verbos system time from php however, the result is consistantly 8 hours behind the system time Actual result: -------------- if the current system time is 11:32 pm, PHP 5.1RC1 will render 03:32 pm using any number of format character variations. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34675&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34675&r=mysqlcfg
