These are nit unique. This is indeed not a bug but a documentation issue. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-29 12:12:00] cmb@php.net Apparently, all other timezones and timezone abbreviations are affected. Maybe a documentation issue only? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-06-29 12:11:00] cmb@php.net Related To: Bug #67302 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-12-09 14:01:18] mtymek at gmail dot com I have a similar issue when setting "CEST" as a timezone. As of PHP v5.5.10, setting timezone to CEST will result in different timestamp stored internally. Possibly it is the same issue.
