Thanks - I just tried it using php4-STABLE-200502051730, but I seem to be still getting the same result. My test script is: <?php echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('2004-10-31 +2 hours'))."\n"; echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('+2 hours', strtotime('2004-10-31')))."\n"; ?> The output I am getting is: 2004-10-31 02:00:00 2004-10-31 01:00:00 while I expected to get: 2004-10-31 01:00:00 2004-10-31 01:00:00 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-03 04:47:46] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-22 22:32:27] rbro at hotmail dot com Further information: The following script does give the expected results: <?php echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('+1 hour', strtotime('2004-10-31')))."\n"; echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('+2 hours', strtotime('2004-10-31')))."\n"; echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('+3 hours', strtotime('2004-10-31')))."\n"; ?> of 2004-10-31 01:00:00 2004-10-31 01:00:00 2004-10-31 02:00:00 So now I believe the issue is that the following 2 statements give different output though they should have the same output: <?php echo strtotime('2004-10-31 +2 hours')."\n"; echo strtotime('+2 hours', strtotime('2004-10-31'))."\n"; ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-22 17:33:21] rbro at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ In the US, Daylight Savings Time ends on October 31, 2004 at 2am where clocks are then reset back to 1am. I am in the Eastern time zone. If I run the following script where I'm adding 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours to the date 2004-10-31, I'm getting different results from including EDT in the date or not, when I thought that strtotime() defaults to the local timezone. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('2004-10-31 EDT +1 hour'))."\n"; echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('2004-10-31 EDT +2 hours'))."\n"; echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('2004-10-31 EDT +3 hours'))."\n"; echo "\n"; echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('2004-10-31 +1 hour'))."\n"; echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('2004-10-31 +2 hours'))."\n"; echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('2004-10-31 +3 hours'))."\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- 2004-10-31 01:00:00 2004-10-31 01:00:00 2004-10-31 02:00:00 2004-10-31 01:00:00 2004-10-31 01:00:00 2004-10-31 02:00:00 Actual result: -------------- 2004-10-31 01:00:00 2004-10-31 01:00:00 2004-10-31 02:00:00 2004-10-31 01:00:00 2004-10-31 02:00:00 2004-10-31 03:00:00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30532&edit=1
