Operating system:
PHP version: Irrelevant
Package: Website problem
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description:Incredibly wrong and stupid note is highly ranked on
time() docs
Description:
------------
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.time.php#118876
The use is implying that UTC is affected by daylight saving, which is
obviously not true
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time
The user is implying that "not every day has 24 hours," however, for
UTC, which is used for the time() function, this is never the case.
Under "Mechanism" on the Wikipedia article, you can easily find the
following quote: "Each day contains 24 hours and each hour contains 60
minutes."
I am reporting this as this is the #2 most upvoted note for this page.
It is incredibly misleading and inaccurate. Notes like this one can
greatly damage new developers browsing the documentation, especially
when said note appears on the top.
