Bug description: Different output for strftime() and date()
Description:
------------
Getting different output for strftime() and date(), and wondering whether
these should be the same.
Example code:
<?php
print "TZ has NOT been set\n";
print "Should strftime==datestr? Strftime seems to assume GMT tStamp.\n";
$input = "10:00:00 AM July 1 2005";
print "input " . $input . "\n";
$tStamp = strtotime($input);
print "strftime " . strftime("%r %B%e %Y", $tStamp) . "\n";
print "datestr " . date ("H:i:s A F j Y", $tStamp) . "\n";
print "\nSetting TZ\n";
putenv ("TZ=Australia/Sydney");
$input = "10:00:00 AM July 1 2005";
print "input " . $input . "\n";
$tStamp = strtotime($input);
print "strftime " . strftime("%r %B%e %Y", $tStamp) . "\n";
print "datestr " . date ("H:i:s A F j Y", $tStamp) . "\n";
?>
Output:
-------------------------------------------------
ludo:~/tmp/php-5.1-dev/strftime-vs-date# ../php5-200507010030/sapi/cli/php

Expected output:
-------------------------------------------------
TZ has NOT been set
Should strftime==datestr? Strftime seems to assume GMT tStamp.
input 10:00:00 AM July 1 2005
strftime 10:00:00 AM July 1 2005
datestr 10:00:00 AM July 1 2005
Setting TZ
input 10:00:00 AM July 1 2005
strftime 10:00:00 AM July 1 2005
datestr 10:00:00 AM July 1 2005

-------------------------------------------------
Note: the "%r" strftime format is described thus: "time in a.m. and p.m.
notation". The strftime documentation does not indicate that this is
altered by the locale settings (unlike the weekday, month, and so on are).
However my locale is English anyway, which is what date() seems to use, and
the locale is not adjusted by the above script, so I would anticipate
getting the same output between date and strftime.
