there are quite a few bug entries that deal with timezones and the TZ
environment veriable... they're marked as closed and reentered in each
version release. from what I can gather from the code, it's still not
fixed.
localtime_r does not set the global tzname from TZ when called. I believe
this is for thread safety, but does bad things when TZ changes values
between time function calls. if php is changed to use localtime instead
of localtime_r, then timezone stuff works, but thread safety is gone. the
same goes with calling tzset manually.
so is there an easy way to deal with this and fix it the right way without
doing something like saving TZ values by thead and doing
lock;set-tz-env;tzset;function;unlock every time a tz dependent function
is called?
I'm running php as an apache 1.x module, so I just hacked in a userspace
tzset(TZ) function, but this would be bad for systems that need to play
nicely with threads.
