Just to clarify, I mention 2008 and 2009 as I think 2008 was when the government DST changes occurred.
Easy test is to echo a date() and see what it says. If it's an hour out, you need an update. http://www.electrictoolbox.com/correct-php-timezone/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Aaron Cooper To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2010 9:49 AM Subject: Re: [phpug] Daylight Saving As Rimu says, check the PHP timezonedb. Although I would have thought you would lose an entire day out of it (except at 11pm). And that said, one would think the same server should have had this problem in 2008 and 2009 if it is the sole culprit and the server was running sites using any date function. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rimu Atkinson To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2010 9:35 AM Subject: Re: [phpug] Daylight Saving There is an internal database that php has of when different places have daylight savings time, and yours is probably out of date. Look at the output of phpinfo() to see the date of the time zone database.
