#37093 [Bgs]: Daylight Savings Time error

ID: 37093 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: robertsaenz at gmail dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: Windows XP Professional PHP Version: 5.1.2 New Comment: You shouldn't use US/Mountain anyway, use one of the America/* listed here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.america.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-16 09:39:40] tony2001@php.net What do you mean by "not working"? Did you restart apache? Did you look in phpinfo() and check that you're modifying the right php.ini file? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-16 09:28:03] robertsaenz at gmail dot com I must not be doing something right. I'm trying to do the date.timezone method but for some reason it is not working for me. I'm doing: date.timezone = "US/Mountain" Is there a specific area that it needs to go under php.ini? Or can it just go anywhere in the ini file? I tried it without quotes to no avail. Any help would be great thanks. I'm really trying to avoid having to use the date_default_timezone_set() function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-16 08:41:59] tony2001@php.net Well, I guess using date.timezone INI setting is even easier. But yes, you can use date_default_timezone_set()/_get() either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-16 08:36:49] robertsaenz at gmail dot com Oops! Sorry meant to say MDT and I should have expected MDT but I didn't put that down, nor did I put a 1 expected for DST in expected result. Yeah using date_default_timezone_set() worked. Is there a way to change this permanently or do I have to do this for every script that uses the date function? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-16 08:06:56] tony2001@php.net >The timezone is: MST and I am in DST territory. Which means it's actually MDT, not MST. What if you set the correct timezone with date_default_timezone_set() ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
