What would be a good way to fix it so that it's consistent? i didn't check how date('Z') is defined (do you add it to local time to get UTC or subtract it?) but it may be that systems where struct tm has a tm_gmtoff member and systems that use the timezone global may define it different ways. they should be made consistent, and the date() documentation updated to tell exactly which way we've made it consistent. :) jim
