Bug description: strftime('%z') not obeying date_default_timezone_set()
Description:
------------
strftime is not showing the correct time zone as set by
date_default_timezone_set
Please note strftime reflects the correct time for the new time zone
setting, but not the correct time zone.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$before = strftime('%H:%M %z');
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
$after = strftime('%H:%M %z');
echo("date('e'): ". date('e'). ", strftime('%z'): ". strftime('%z'));
echo ", strftime('%H:%M %z') before: $before, strftime('%H:%M %z') after:
$after";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
date('e'): America/New_York, strftime('%z'): Eastern Daylight Time,
strftime('%H:%M %z') before: 05:21 Eastern Daylight Time, strftime('%H:%M
%z') after: 06:21 Eastern Daylight Time
Actual result:
--------------
date('e'): America/New_York, strftime('%z'): Central Daylight Time,
strftime('%H:%M %z') before: 05:21 Central Daylight Time, strftime('%H:%M
%z') after: 06:21 Central Daylight Time
// note: on my setup Central Daylight Time would be expected if
date_default_timezone_set had not been used
