ID: 53219 Updated by: [email protected] Reported by: moranar at gmail dot com Summary: Argentina's DST setting is wrong - DST should not be applied -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Date/time related Operating System: Ubuntu Linux PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N New Comment: One can't expect PHP to have the timezone database up-to-date between releases, much less when using such an old version. The timezonedb pecl extensions exists precisely for this purpose. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-11-01 21:46:31] moranar at gmail dot com Description: ------------ I'm trying to troubleshoot and solve this problem: the server I'm working on (php 5.2.9 on Linux), has the correct local time (America/Buenos_Aires): u...@server [/home/site/public_html]$ date Mon Nov 1 17:11:14 ART 2010 php.ini is set with date.timezone = "America/Buenos_Aires" I also tried to set the timezone directly in the script with <?php ini_set('display_errors', true); error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT|E_NOTICE); //date_default_timezone_set("America/Buenos_Aires"); //echo date_default_timezone_get(), "<br>"; echo "ini: ", ini_get('date.timezone'), "<br>"; $now = date("H:i:s T I"); $nowdate = date("Y-m-d"); echo $nowdate." ".$now; ?> but to no avail, the result is ini: America/Buenos_Aires 2010-11-01 18:11:14 ARST 1 when it should read 17:11 (It's consistently one hour ahead). I checked and as you can see in the code, PHP thinks it should be applying DST, and Argentina decided to not apply it this year. I tried dumping the timezones transition as suggested. I got the following: The timezone America/Buenos_Aires switches to standard time on 20 Mar 2011 @ 02:00. The new GMT offset will be: -10800 (ART) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53219&edit=1
