Two things confuse me about this bug report. Surely it is summer in Australia
right now, so why would you expect ACDT? And second, Olson has never used the
'A'
prefix and as far as I know most places don't. There is a long discussion on
this
in the Olson australasia file. I'll leave this as an exercise for the
interested
to look up. If you go to Google and search for "time in Adelaide" you get a CST
time just like PHP provides.

See #50276 for a tangentially related bug about the Australian timezone
abbreviations.

Description:
------------
Tried this on 5.3.3, 5.3.6 and 5.3.10, the latest available from the various OS
vendors we have. I have not yet successfully compiled 5.4.x to test there.
This occurs with the 2012.10 tzdata installed and verified with phpinfo().
Test script:
---------------
$date = new DateTime('now', new DateTimezone('Australia/South'));
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s T');
Expected result:
----------------
2012-12-15 10:10:13 ACDT
Actual result:
--------------
2012-12-15 10:10:13 CST
