Re: plugging gmmktime value into gmdate yields incorrect date

date('Z') on the server producing the incorrect output returns 3600. On the other two, I get -18000 and -21600. That said, I don't see how that'd make a difference. The whole reason I'm using the gm* functions, in the first place, is because those are supposed to work with a fixed timezone - GMT. Testament to this is the fact that gmdate('Z') returns 0 on all three of those. Peter Lauri wrote:

On the other, however, I got 03, 22, 2000. This doesn't make any sense to me. On the servers that return the correct date (03, 23, 2000), gmmktime(0,0,0,3,23,2000) returns 953769600. On the server that returns the incorrect date (03, 22, 2000), gmmktime(0,0,0,3,23,2000) returns 953766000. There's a difference of 3600 between the two, which makes me think that some daylight savings time setting is to blame.
