Operating system: Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2
PHP version: 5.3.0
PHP Bug Type: Apache2 related
Bug description: date_default_timezone_get not query the OS correctly
Description:
------------
An issue with how date_default_timezone_get() is querying the host
operating system for timezone information under Windows server 2003.
Reproduce code:
---------------
I started by experiencing an issue with strtotime().
<?php
echo strtotime("10 September 2009");
?>
When running under 'Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8i
PHP/5.3.0' it restarts.
I switched back to 5.2.9-2 and ran the same script without issue.
This test was carried out on Window Server 2003 R2 SP2
I then performed the exact same test on XP SP3 with the same Apache/PHP
setup, there was no issue.
I figured it must be something to do with the way PHP gets the timezone
information.
Again under PHP5.3 on Server 2003 I tried the following:
date_default_timezone_get() and Apache restarted.
I altered the PHP.ini to include the date.timezone setting and tried again
and there was no issue.
The issue must therefore be with how date_default_timezone_get() is
querying the host operating system for timezone information.
Expected result:
----------------
Display timestamp
Actual result:
--------------
Apache unexpectedly restarts:
[Wed Sep 30 13:51:50 2009] [notice] Parent: child process exited with
status 128 -- Restarting.
