From: Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Date/time related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:rename Australian time zone abbreviations to avoid ambiguity
Description: ------------ In PHP, formatting a date with 'T' for an Australian East or Central time zone generates "EST" and "CST" respectively. Since time zone calculations often involve global context, it is confusing to have multiple definitions of EST and CST, as EST is also used for Eastern Standard Time (US) and CST for Central Standard Time (US). To quote Wikipedia: "The proper names of Australia's time zones vary. In international contexts they are often called Australian Western Standard Time (AWST), Australian Central Standard Time (ACST), and Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST). In domestic contexts the leading "Australian" is often dropped." -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52076&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52076&r=mysqlcfg
