note 32926 modified in function.date by pollita

[ Editor's Note: The output of date() is dependent on the platform's implementation of date(). Differences between the documentation and what you actually see can be attributed to such differences. ] Note that (in the GMT timezone at least), the output of date('T',$stamp) is actually "GMT Standard Time" - not "GMT" as documented in the manual. This means that you can't guarantee to be able to feed back the output of date() into strtodate(), even if the documentation says it will produce a valid string. The workaround is to take a substring. For example: $s = substr(date('D, d M Y H:i:s T',$stamp),0,29); instead of: $s = date('D, d M Y H:i:s T',$stamp); Jill --was-- Note that (in the GMT timezone at least), the output of date('T',$stamp) is actually "GMT Standard Time" - not "GMT" as documented in the manual.
