From: tessone at polyglut dot net Operating system: CentOS PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: Date/time related Bug description: localtime sometimes gives GMT date, not local
Description: ------------ When using localtime() to get the server time into an array, sometimes PHP chooses the local timezone, sometimes it chooses GMT. I am in US/Eastern (-0500), so after 7pm, sometimes my script says it's today, sometimes tomorrow (because it is choosing GMT). Below is some code, plus a result from when it chooses the local timezone (correct) and one where it chooses GMT (incorrect). If I run date at the command-line, it consistently returns a US/Eastern time, so the server is not skipping back and forth between timezones for any reason. Reproduce code: --------------- print time() . ": "; $serverTime = localtime(time()); print_r($serverTime); print date("O"); Expected result: ---------------- 1205022657: Array ( [0] => 57 [1] => 30 [2] => 19 [3] => 8 [4] => 2 [5] => 108 [6] => 6 [7] => 67 [8] => 0 ) -0500 Actual result: -------------- 1205022665: Array ( [0] => 5 [1] => 31 [2] => 0 [3] => 9 [4] => 2 [5] => 108 [6] => 0 [7] => 68 [8] => 0 ) +0000 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44380&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44380&r=mysqlcfg
