Re: timezones & date() breakage

LS>>It seems evident that the old magic never worked reliably exactly for those LS>>people that are now seemingly adversly affected by the current changes. Its It doesn't seem evident to me. For me it worked flawlessly and did exactly what I wanted it to do - show current time on the machine in the format I tell it to. LS>>just that what worked by chance may not work anymore and vice versa. No, it didn't work "by chance" - it worked because it used standard OS services which worked. LS>>its going to be impossible to get the new code to behave exactly like the LS>>old code in all cases. What do you mean by "in all cases"? You mean "it doesn't behave like old code unless you live in UTC timezone"? Well, most people don't live in UTC timezone. LS>>So it seems to me like its inevitable that we at somepoint force our users LS>>to a proper portable solution as we drop the old solution. Now the question I do not think solution that breaks working code is "proper", unless in your dictionary "proper" means "it works for me and others may STFU". -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ +972-3-6139665 ext.115
