Derick - we're AUSTRALIA/Melbourne ;) BTW, we don't use EST, we're on AEST I did manually set the propert in php.ini and it works fine - it's just good to flag this for first-time users so they don't get a shock when they're testing the upgrade. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-30 09:16:48] [EMAIL PROTECTED] @studio at peptolab dot com: That's because the timezone abbreviations are ambigious. EST is both America/New_York and Australia/Melbourne. The magic method only sees the EST, so it needs to make an assumption. Set the config param in php.ini to "America/Melbourne" and all will be well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-28 13:58:39] studio at peptolab dot com I'm getting the same behaviour in RH FC4 - I created an RPM of 5.1.0RC1 and installed that - despite being in the Australia/ Melbourne timezone, I'm automatically assumed to be America/ New_York by PHP. It seems the 'magic' method isn't correctly picking up my OS settings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-19 12:54:56] [EMAIL PROTECTED] @pash_ka at fonbet dot info: What should we set it to by default? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-18 15:58:37] pash_ka at fonbet dot info Please, add "date.timezone" setting to php.ini-dist and php.ini-recomended in Windows distribution, since it's very important to all peoples performing updates to PHP 5.1 not to forget set this value properly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-08-16 14:00:20] [EMAIL PROTECTED] We've new date/time support that doesn't rely on the OS. If you can point us how to retrieve the current timezone abbreviation on Windows with threadsafe code, we're happy to add it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
