note 74420 added to function.syslog

Be aware when using syslog() that if you set the timezone of environment to be something other than the standard, syslog() may log the time to the log(s) with the wrong time zone information. For example: <?php openlog('mylog', LOG_PID | LOG_ODELAY,LOG_LOCAL4); putenv('TZ=UTC'); syslog(LOG_INFO, 'UTC Log line'); putenv('TZ=US/Pacific'); syslog(LOG_INFO, 'US/Pacific Log line'); closelog(); ?> Viewing the /usr/log/messages log will display these two lines: Apr 11 01:25:39 hostname mylog[1400]: UTC Log line Apr 10 18:25:39 hostname mylog[1400]: US/Pacific Log line Adam. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 64.81.162.33 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.syslog.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74420 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74420/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74420/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74420/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74420/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74420/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74420/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74420 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74420 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
