It's *absolutely* unacceptable. // Europe/Warsaw = GMT +0200 $dateSrc = '2007-04-19 12:50:00 GMT'; $dateTime = new DateTime($dateSrc, new DateTimeZone('Europe/Warsaw')); echo $dateTime->format('H:i:s')."<br />"; // RESULT: 12:50:00 (expected: 14:50:00) $dateTime->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone('Europe/Warsaw')); echo $dateTime->format('H:i:s')."<br />"; // RESULT: 14:50:00 (correct) IMHO the most intuitive way is to create the date based on the #1, but displays it using #2. It's not only strange it ignores #2, but in fact it's strange that the internal DateTime pointer is set to timezone provided in #1 at all. If the date_default_timezone_set() was set to some TZ, it should create dates within this timezone if one doesn't state otherwise (using #2). Of course the timezone info from #1 should be used, but only to calculate the actual timestamp. date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Warsaw'); $dateSrc = '2007-04-19 12:50:00 GMT'; $dateTime = new DateTime($dateSrc); echo $dateTime->format('H:i:s')."<br />"; // RESULT: 12:50:00 (expected: 14:50:00) Currently, it's pretty complicated to translate dates from one timezone to another - you have to use DateTime::setTimeZone(), when one line should do the thing: $dateTime = new DateTime($dateWithSrcTimeZone, $timeZoneToDisplay); (or even without $timeZoneToDisplay if you want to use your current TZ). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-04-11 14:45:46] [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's not totally ignored, but something fishy is going on. See the following script + output: <?php $dt = new DateTime(); echo $dt->format(DATE_RFC822 . " e T O"), "\n"; $dt = new DateTime('@' . time()); echo $dt->format(DATE_RFC822 . " e T O"), "\n"; $dt = new DateTime('@' . time(), new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin')); echo $dt->format(DATE_RFC822 . " e T O"), "\n"; ?> Wed, 11 Apr 07 16:42:40 +0200 Europe/Oslo CEST +0200 Wed, 11 Apr 07 14:42:40 +0100 Europe/Oslo GMT+0100 +0100 Wed, 11 Apr 07 14:42:40 +0100 Europe/Berlin GMT+0100 +0100 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-06 23:27:24] ddb at bitxtender dot de Description: ------------ when you create a new DateTime object the timezone object you pass along in the constructor is ignored. setting the timezone using setTimeZone works as expected. also tested with 5.2-dev and 6.0-dev Reproduce code: --------------- $dt = new DateTime('@' . time(), new DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin')); echo $dt->format(DATE_RFC822); Expected result: ---------------- Tue, 07 Mar 07 01:22:55 +0100 Actual result: -------------- Tue, 07 Mar 07 00:22:55 +0000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40743&edit=1
