this bug has been around for over 2 years and it's a big one!!!
for time based apps lets face it, the gmmktime function is extremely

I use Win2K.I got this problem too. But after I updated to php 4.2.1
version, they are gone. It works well on php 4.2.1 (or higher version,
I guess).

Same problem - runing at the same time 2 systems:
On Windows NT 5.0 build 2195 PHP 4.1.1 on GMT zone:
echo (gmdate("U") . "<br>"); //1039704601
echo (date ("U") . "<br>"); //1039704601
echo (mktime() . "<br>"); //1039704601
echo (gmmktime() . "<br>"); //1039701001
echo (time() . "<br>"); //1039704601
On Linux webdev 2.4.19 #1 PHP 4.2.2 on EDT zone:
echo (gmdate("U") . "<br>"); //1039704601
echo (date ("U") . "<br>"); //1039704601
echo (mktime() . "<br>"); //1039704601
echo (gmmktime() . "<br>"); //1039686601
echo (time() . "<br>"); //1039704601

Could you please retry with a current snapshot or CVS-checkout? There
have been changes to mktime, so this problem might be already fixed in
CVS.
Please reopen the case if the problem persists.
Thanks for helping!

Here's a different perspective: I've been duplicating examples in
Python, Perl, Tcl, and PHP, thinking my next book may be full of such.
One of my examples converts between an ASCII GMT representation and the
local machine's seconds since the epoch. I did the example in the
other languages before trying PHP. Tcl works "out of the box". In
Python and Perl, I found ways of getting the gmt-to-local time
differential and used that differential to adjust the result produced
by mktime to create something similar to PHP's mktime. (It's not well
tested but doesn't have the bug PHP's mktime has. I get correct
results for daylight and nondaylight local times.) In PHP, I can't
find tools sufficient to calculate that time differential. HERE's THE
POINT: All these languages seem to rely on the same basic C library.
If it can be done using those C library tools (however indirectly) in
some of them it ought to be possible in all.
