EST is both America/New_York and Australia/Melbourne. The magic method only sees the EST, so it needs to make an assumption. Set the config param in php.ini to "America/Melbourne" and all will be well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-28 13:58:39] studio at peptolab dot com I'm getting the same behaviour in RH FC4 - I created an RPM of 5.1.0RC1 and installed that - despite being in the Australia/ Melbourne timezone, I'm automatically assumed to be America/ New_York by PHP. It seems the 'magic' method isn't correctly picking up my OS settings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-19 12:54:56] derick@php.net @pash_ka at fonbet dot info: What should we set it to by default? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-18 15:58:37] pash_ka at fonbet dot info Please, add "date.timezone" setting to php.ini-dist and php.ini-recomended in Windows distribution, since it's very important to all peoples performing updates to PHP 5.1 not to forget set this value properly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
