Also add a <literal /> to the Solaris warning, since there was one missing and I was already in there. Fixes doc bug #63662 (Strftime documentation for %z & %Z is not (necessarily?) correct.). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-12-03 01:35:18] aharvey@php.net Ah, Windows. Every time you need to guarantee an OS will get part of a spec wrong, there you are. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-11-30 22:55:55] zyzzyvette at gmail dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.strftime#refsect1-function.strftime- parameters --- Documentation says that %z returns either the abbreviation (e.g., PST) or the offset (-0800), and that %Z will return the other one. But %z and %Z are both giving me the same result, which is neither the abbreviation nor the offset but the full timezone name ('Pacific Standard Time'). There are mentions of similar problems in the comments, but the documentation hasn't been corrected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63662&edit=1
