I just found out this on my windows XP machine:
background info:
- I live in the Netherlands (timezone= GMT+1)
When you enable the option to automaticaly adjust your system clock for daylight savings (on
windows' control panel), php's date() function and the Date header in the mail function
will return different time zones.
an example:
<?php
$test= date('O');
?>
now $test is: "+0200"
But if I send a mail with php using the mail() function the Date header is telling me +0100 (which
seems to me is right because I live in the Netherlands where timezone=GMT+1)
This bug can be caused by windows (returning the wrong timezone to php's date() function). Or
php's date() function is doing something wrong itself.
I found this trying to figure out why my emails appeared to be sent one hour later than they really
were sent. (I use Mozilla mail and appearantly it suffers from the same bug as php's date()
function ).
