ID: 13404 Updated by: rasmus Reported By: rfinnie@kefta.com Old Status: Closed Status: Bogus Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE PHP Version: 4.0CVS-2001-09-23 New Comment: uh, woops, shouldn't have spent the 2 minutes to find a URL that explains this. Lots of people watching bugs these days... ;) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-09-23 04:44:06] rasmus@php.net That would be correct. You can prove this to yourself by typing: date +%z at your prompt. I bet you will see the same number. ie. -0700 Remember we are on summer time. See http://GreenwichMeanTime.com/info/timezone-summer.htm to verify this for yourself. PDT is GMT-7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-09-23 04:41:53] mfischer@php.net No bug -> bogus. - Markus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-09-23 04:39:14] rfinnie@kefta.com Umm, never mind. Never let a programmer like me work in DST this late at night. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-09-23 04:10:21] rfinnie@kefta.com date('Z') is returning -25200 on my system (mountain), even though though the rest of the system believes it is in the pacific time zone (rightfully so). /bin/date returns "Sun Sep 23 01:09:17 PDT 2001". configure line: './configure' '--prefix=/usr/local/apps/rf_php' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apps/rf_php/lib' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/local/apps/rf_php/bin' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apps/rf_apache/bin/apxs' '--with-imap' '--with-gd=/usr/local' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/apps/mysql' '--with-db' '--without-pear' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13404&edit=1
