#37093 [Bgs]: Daylight Savings Time error

ID: 37093 User updated by: robertsaenz at gmail dot com 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: What I meant by "not working" was that I am still getting: 2006-04-16 12:19:55 MST 0 When I'm expecting: 2006-04-16 13:19:55 MDT 1 I restarted Apache (which is Apache2 by the way... don't know if it matters but I thought I would throw that in there as extra info). I also stopped it and the started it manually. I even restarted the server and I still get the same result. I'm using the correct php.ini (I just double checked to make sure). The reason I used "US/Mountain" was because it worked with the date_default_timezone_set(). However, I tried "America/Denver" (who is in the same timezone). I got the same result. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-16 09:50:16] derick@php.net You shouldn't use US/Mountain anyway, use one of the America/* listed here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.america.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
