Bug description: gmdate and date odd behaivour
Description:
------------
Hi,
I have been tearing my hair out about this - until I discovered the
underlying problem when I wrote the test code below.
The problem occurs in version 4, aswell as the latest v5 CVS. I have tried
on redhat linux and windows XP.
When the server is in a non GMT timezone, you would expect gmdate and date
to produce different times - and they normally do so. however, when you
ask the format to be 'U' (timestamp), gmdate appears to produce the
incorrect result - it does NOT take into account that it is supposed to
make a GMT result.
The code I attached shows the contradiction in the results of gmdate and
date, when using a timestamp, and normal formatting.
Note, the anomolies only appear in timestamps.
Is this intentional? if so, it is very odd behaivour.
Reproduce code:
---------------
print "<br>" . gmdate('U');
print "<br>" . date('U');
print "<br>" . gmdate('g:ia \o\n D d<\sup>S</\sup> M, Y');
print "<br>" . date('g:ia \o\n D d<\sup>S</\sup> M, Y');
Expected result:
